One fine winter day

Here's some pictures of a day out when it was moderately cold (maybe around -10 degrees Celsius) and nice and white all around =)

Noel practises skiing

Noel falls down

Up again

And down

Going down the hill

Yes! This big hill!

Bit more skiing

And Mr Cranky Pants appears... Where is Noel? Let's zoom a bit...

There he is! Crying for mummy to come and CARRY him home!

Yes, mummy should be carrying him. As well as pushing the trolley (with Leon in it), carrying the skis (you can find them if you look closely to the trolley), as well as pulling the sled. Yes, why not carry him also!

Are we having a White Christmas this year or not? My guess: NOT =(

Here are some pics of our Christmas preparations this year and of a glimpse of White Christmas...

Boys assembling the Christmas tree. And no, we do not have a real tree since I don't want to vacuum the pine spikes every day from all around the apartment...

Noel got fed up so daddy finished the job

Tree ready with lights and decorations <3

Noel's way of decorating: putting all similar decorations on the same branch <3

Same here - work of Noel

This year's gingerbread house - with spooky glowing eyed penguins hanging around in the yard

Leon getting ready for his nap in the trolley, with -2 degrees outside

2 days before Christmas we have a white yard. But most probably it will be a different case on Saturday =(

Finally the pics are ready!!!

Here are the photos which were taken in early October by the professional photographer.
Enjoy! =)

Bad Tigger attacking poor little innocent Leon!

Shots for a Xmas card

Here are some of the funniest shots we got when trying to get the boys to pose together for this year's Christmas card. The one we decided to go with remains a mystery - that is until the card hits your mailbox! =D

Shaken and stirred 

Kissie kiss kiss

What's happening there?? (Me goofing around, trying to get them to smile. I guess I shocked them instead though..)

Can we finish already? This is booooring!

Leon's smile

Finally some proof that Leon does smile every now and then =) And also proof that he keeps his head up for a little while before getting upset =)

Halloween

Friday was a day off for Noel from kindergarten, so the plan was to make some Halloween decorations. All week long he was asking when we'd start making the ghosts, scary pumpking, bats and spiders. On Friday, I said. What happened on Friday? I gave him a piece of paper with a pumpkin drawn on it and asked him to cut it along the lines. 2 minutes later the whole paper is in tiny little pieces on the table.. This is what happened with all the things he was suppose to cut, until he got bored and started playing with his toys. Here are anyways some pics of our Halloween.
