12/12

A photo of my little man, once a month, on the last day of each month, in 2016

Reece, what a year, little man, and here we are on the last day of 2016 standing strong, together. It has been an unbelievable year with you, watching you learn, grow and change before my eyes, moving from little boy to young man. What a joy it has been. 

This morning, to celebrate the end of this year and the beginning of the new year, we grabbed our snowshoes and your new toboggan and headed out to our favourite trail. We snowshoed in, and then settled in at the big hill for some fun. And gosh, did we have fun! Together we flew down the hill, laughing the entire way. There were snacks to be enjoyed and warm cups of tea, and then more tobogganing before putting our snowshoes back on and heading back to the car. It was the perfect way to spend the morning and early afternoon. 

And tonight, well, we will settle in for a quiet night at home. There will be some special treats, sparklers outside, and a movie, and then I will tuck you in one last time for 2016. 

I love you Reece, more than you know, and I can't wait to see where 2017 take us.

  1. Oh what a lovely way to spend the end of the year! And Wow look at the snow!! One of these days I'm going to go on a winter holiday somewhere really snowy and spend the day rolling in it. It was 14C here on Christmas Day which I think may be warmer than some of August!!

  3. All that snow looks like so much fun! Nothing but a light dusting here a couple of weeks ago and we had a 50+F day on Christmas. Happy 2017!
