The Geach's Christmas

Wow, Christmas has come and gone once again. What a magical year it was this year for our family. Colin added such a joy to our Christmas this year as he has done each year. This year was even more exciting to see the joy and magic of the season through his eyes. As he grows older and really begins to know the true meaning of Christmas ("It's Jesus' birthday" as he tells us) and to see the excitement of Santa Clause he is such a light in our lives. Here is a look at our week of Christmas and a few pictures of our trip up to Hurley after Christmas Day for the weekend.

We started our celebrations at Gramma and Grandpa's house on Sunday.

Our Cutie!


Daddy got the first gift of the night, this is also his 30th Birthday gift from Mommy and Colin. Wow, was he surprised!


Colin and his favorite cousin Brian. He can't get enough of him. It was so fun to celebrate Brian's first Christmas with him this year.

Colin says his favorite gift was his scooter. And we are pretty sure it was also his Arctic Cat jersey. He never took it off after opening the gift that night. Thanks EB and Mark!!

I think this was a snowmobile year. Colin in his first helmet.

Brian also got an Arctic Cat shirt. Colin said (with his thumb up) "We are Arctic Cat boys!"

On Tuesday my mom and I took Colin to see the Macy's 8th floor display and to sit on Santa's lap. It was a very fun day.

Wednesday we were off to church for Christmas Eve service and then to Nanny and Papa McGill's.

The boys

Isn't he so cute in his sweater and jacket!

I think he loves his gift! Auntie and Joe got him a farm gift with 3 semi trucks!

And a John Deere Dump Truck!

Look who came to Nanny and Papa's house! SANTA!!

And he brought in his bag the very asked for Bounce Back Racer and a marshmallow shooter! Colin was amazed!

Christmas morning, and look who came!

And look what was set-up downstairs for Colin... A Jump House!


We then packed up, headed to Aunt Cindy's for Christmas Day and then headed up north for snowmobiling for 3 days.

Our sweet Brian

More John Deere! Guess who loves John Deere??

And now a few pictures of our weekend up north.

Daddy's first ride on the new sled with Grandpa.

And then Colin's first ride ever going out on the trails. My little boy is growing up!

Daddy and Colin built a big snowman

The big event of the weekend was Colin got to go see the groomers that Daddy and Grandpa drive to groom the trails. This was the largest John Deere Colin had ever seen. He loved it. And he even got to take a ride in one of the groomers with Daddy and Grandpa.

And to end the trip, Daddy and Grandpa thought it would be fun to have Colin start learning to drive his sled on his own. He did good, but I think it will be a little while until he is off riding on his own!

Wow, what a Christmas we had. Now to find the room for all the gifts! Thank you to everyone we celebrated with. We had a wonderful Christmas with everyone. Hope you all had the same.

Happy New Year everyone!

Fun in the Snow

Thought I would share a few pictures of Colin's first ride back on the Z120 today. His first ride on it this season. He was able to ride around the yard in Hurley over Thanksgiving weekend with Grandpa, but we finally had enough snow at our house to take the snowmobile out. He was smiling from ear to ear as soon as he heard Daddy start it up in the garage today.

After riding around the yard and the grass was starting to show Daddy decided it was time to put the sled back in the garage. So Colin headed out into the snow to make prints (he loves seeing his tracks in the snow, just like Scott did when he was a little boy) and making snow angels. He couldn't quite understand why we couldn't make a snowman. I'm sure we will have the right kind of snow soon.

Enjoy the snow tonight and these pictures!
