A Merry Christmas & Happy 2014!

Somehow this didn't upload before...better late than never!

We had a nice Christmas with just the four of us; a big contrast to the usual hustle and bustle when we are closer our extended family. Everyone sent wonderful presents for the kids; they were so excited and couldn't even open everything in one day!








We also had a food filled holiday. I made my first attempt at rum cake and Jermaine made his traditional new year's lemon meringue pie. 



Hope everyone is having a warm and safe 2014 so far!







Winter wonderland - sort of

We've had some really nice days, some snowy days, and some really yucky weather days so far this winter. The kids don't have to think about what to wear or making sure that they are warm enough, but it can't be stressful on parents to figure out the appropriate level of bundling. The kids actually love wearing their winter gear, though we have to strip it all off once we get to their school, which is over the building's steam room (in other words, it's like summer in there all the time - not fun when you come in wearing a down coat!). But we end up having fun no matter what the weather is like!
