Happy Holidays

Happy Holidays from our home to yours!

Christmas Morning

Santa found our house!

Ace & his Star Wars laptop

That is a genuine smile from our Scarlett

Presents even for Piper (thanks Linda & Chuck)

It was so special for our to be at our 'home' for Christmas, we are usually travelling and staying with family.  This was the first Christmas morning with just the four of us (& Piper), a very special memory!

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve was a long-awaited day for Ace & Scarlett.  They displayed their letters to Santa, picked out cookies and a drink for him and went to bed like good little children.

But before all that, we had to put our 'Reindeer Food' outside

We went to visit Great Grandpa Krieger & Aunt Michelle

Had supper at Nana & Papas

Waited for Auntie Amber to arrive from Calgary with her room mate Christa & daughter Zoe

Had a little old-school rock-band (this totally reminds me of when I was a kid with my cousins at Christmas)

And finally we had some dessert before we were off to church for the Christmas Eve service 

Advent Calendar

I had so much fun designing & teaching this Advent Calendar Cupcake Tray class in Oxbow.

All products are from Stampin' Up!

A Bit of Christmas-ness

It's beginning to look alot like Christmas around our Little Winter Cottage.

We don't have many of our decorations, they are packed, but just enough to make it a bit festive!

Pre-K Party

Frosty & Cold

Brrr, it's cold here!  We're glad to be nice and cozy together.

Happy Birthday Christa!

We celebrated Christa's 30th birthday on Dec 20th.  Christa's oldest friend Alicia was there along with some other close friends...we enjoyed dancing, drinks & fun!

2008 Mercer Family Christmas Photos

This is the photo we used for our Christmas cards this year.  With a little help from my Mom (who took the photos) and Shutterfly (who printed our greeting) they are off and on their way to homes of family & friends.

Glad we have these in memory of spending Christmas in our Little Winter Cottage this year!
