Wii

Well I am thinking I have become a gamer, in the last week I have logged a few hours a day playing Wii with Avery. From singing to dancing I am an expert. I have bought Hannah Montana lots of new outfits and unlocked clothes, and stages for High School Musical, all in all Avery and Mom rock on the Wii. I am thinking maybe it is time we look for Super Mario Brothers, we need a challenge.
What will tomorrow hold for the Wii and me?

Family Fun Run

Okay, Thomson Family I have a challenge for all who would like to participate. I am wanting to do the Raymond July Road Race, I have looked on the website and as of yet they don't have it posted for distances or times but I will keep you all posted. I know that the 5km would be a good one to start with, but it anybody would like to do more just let me know. I also think that they have a kids race, so if any little Thomson's would like to participate we can make that happen. I am giving you all this much notice so that I don't have to hear the excuses that you didn't have time to train.
I have been running for over a year now and never thought that I would like it but I love it. Aspen has picked up the bug and runs with me(only outside, she dislikes the treadmill), but she can keep up and loves it when I challenge her to go a little bit further. She has finished 5km in 32Min's, and that was her 4 time out. I would love her to kick my butt with coming in under 25Min's, she is younger and with her body type she is built for speed.(my best 5km is 25Min's 46secs) So you all have this challenge. I would like as many of us to participate. We are Thomson's and with that comes the determination of a good fight, so lets go for it and have fun! Some great help is at http://www.runnersworld.com/
Let me know if you have any ideas, or give me some feed back.
If you want to come run with me in Banff I am doing the "Melissa's Road Race" again, you can't beat running in the mountains (Rain, Snow or Sun) it is absolutely gorgeous and a very fun weekend.
Happy trails to you. . .

Christmas Day

We have had a Great day, thus far. We wish all our Family and Friends a wonderful Christmas, & Happy New Years.

Dad & Mom I am trying to get the videos to load but they won't I will have to try something else.

Love Ya all!

Christmas Baking

Today was a great day to do some Christmas Baking. With the weather at a calm -20, I got in the mood to get cracking on my Christmas goods. I made Pecan Tarts, Pumpkin Tarts, and Peanut Butter Blossoms. The tarts all have homemade crusts, and cream cheese icing, Yum!! I can't wait too try them tomorrow. I was not the taster today, Tod, O A & A, all had there share of treats and the smiles on their faces was enough to let me know that they were great. I still need to do Butter Tarts and Sugar Cookies.
Our Winter hit on Friday morning and has come quickly. We are in the -20 and -30 and with the wind chill it is getting to darn cold. Maybe it is time to start thinking about Mexico, (I just used up my Vanilla, I really need more). The cats want to go out so badly, but their poor paws can't handle it, so they just whine at the door.
Yesterday, we were out at a Snow Day Party. It was so much fun! We took our quads out and the sleds. The food, fire, friends, snow and smiles on all the kids faces made the afternoon, worth the chill. Thanks K & A Aberdeen for all the Snow Fun!!
19 days until Christmas.
