Cottage Christmas

We packed up and headed to the cottage on December 27th. The drive there was a little crazy due to freezing rain. It became a whole lot crazier when we tried to go up a hill on the road into the cottage and ended up sliding back down backwards. Thankfully there is another road in that we were able to take. We arrived safely to find hardly any snow and rain, rain and more rain...so much for the ice skating and tobogganing we told the kids we would do all weekend.

We had a nice evening with Jason's family and opened Christmas presents in front of the Charlie Brown Christmas tree.



Once again the kids were spoiled.






One of the gifts for Simon was a hockey set...the kids loved it and played hockey in the hallway together.




Thank you Grandma, Grandpa, G.G., G.G.2, Aunt Rosemary, Uncle Rick, Sara and Brian.




The next morning we lost power due to the storm and the kids were going stir crazy so Jason and I took them into Hunstville to go to the shops and have some time out of the cottage. When we returned to the cottage later that afternoon, still was no power or heat. We decided that it would be best if we packed up and headed home. It was a short stay but nice to spend some time up there with family.

That is the best christmas tree ever! Truly a Charlie Brown tree. I love it!

It is nice to have a place like the cottage to escape to. I am jealous!
