For starters, here are a couple of shots of Kate celebrating her birthday, just before Christmas. 37 years old and getting more beautiful (and faster) every year.
Christmas was a blast, with little brother Ben and my parents joining us for the festivities. It was a rare green Christmas and the lake was unfrozen (Ben even went in for a crazed dip in the lake). Jacob's "bemote atoll zamboni" was the biggest hit of the day. "Remote control" is unpronounceable apparently. A major painting project is still underway, as part of the construction of castles/forts/pirate lairs. And lots of books, games, etc.
Here are the kids getting ready to attack the presents...
All 5 of us got snowshoes. Restricted to indoors on Christmas day but we've all been out on them since. The twins can run at full speed in them. We're planning a trek across the lake, but it's still not frozen solid all the way across yet.
A couple of wildlife shots.
Here's the bloody big beaver that took away all our saplings.
And a pair of bald eagles spent Boxing Day fishing off the edge of the ice. You'll have to take my word for it as my zoom isn't strong enough.
And then we celebrated the twins' half birthday (4 1/2) on Boxing Day, complete with a pirate ship cake.
And here's Zoë stealing centre stage as usual...

Love how the girls were getting ready for some topless bathing in the tropics. Or maybe they wanted to join their uncle in the unfrozen lake...
(That beaver is amazing)
