Just What We Needed

The alarm clock rang at 5:00 this morning. We got ready to go and would have been out the door on time... but a cow got it's head stuck in a gate, and it took some time for the boys to get it out of there. So we were a bit late. But only like fifteen min, so it was ok. :)

We had practice, and church. Church was amazing like always. Just what we needed.

We went to the Thiessens afterwards. We had a pizza party, and played hockey. Well... most of us did. :) Some of the kids played for four hours! 

Mikey got just a bit spoiled! 

It was a WARM (by Manitoba's standards) day today, so much time was spent outside by all. Even Mikey. Shayla was sweet enough to take him for a ride on the sled. He must have played hard because he had a good, 2 hour nap afterwards! 

The Thiessens were also just what we needed. :)

It was a good day.

We went to presence night at church once we departed from our friends' house. It was the perfect ending to an amazing day.

We brought Silas home with us for a sleepover with the Aunties and Uncles since Meg is planning on coming out to visit tomorrow. We stopped to get gas on the way and sugar up the kiddos. Then we cranked up the music and danced our way home.

I'll leave you with the pictures of Nate and his gift from yesterday. Zach was supposed to open his today, but it got a little late coming home, so we just decided to do it tomorrow. 

Missing you!
