Thomas' Birthday

We got a great package in the mail that contained a really cool "M" for Macneill superhero costume. We do not know who sent it so please tell us!! Thank you and this costume has been worn continuously since it arrived!! Pretty cool stuff!

Thomas wanted a pizza supper which as you can tell all the boys enjoy! He then opened some presents , lego seems to be his new thing. The Batman PJs were also a hit, as was all the gum!! Thank you everyone for the phone calls and the presents. Thomas says thank you!!

Finally a Visit to Halifax

This is a dress up day where Sam is superman, Tom is a knight, Ben a magic black spiderman of some sort and Matt is some kind of a monster. Yes, the feet are painted with face paints!!





We finally managed a trip to Halifax and it was so nice to spend time with the "Smillards" again. Thank you so much for spoiling us and still welcoming such a big family for the weekend. The kids had so much fun , as did the parents!! Can't wait for the next visit, it really was so much fun seeing you guys again!! The MacNeills.

This Past Week

Sam and Tom love giving the dog his treats and then watching him eat.

Kenzie is our adopted sister/daughter, she likes the boys and they like her. Fun to have a girl around sometimes.








Despite all of the snow and great outdoor weather we have been having, I seem to be forgetting to take pictures. We have enjoyed the snow forts, made at the elementary school as well as the one made by our boys at home.

We had a seafood fondu night as well as cheese and chocolate fondu night. A yearly tradition that we really should do more often...burp!!

Yes, Sam loves to sit on the toilet, not sure if he has actually peeped in it yet but he likes to sit like a big boy, wash his hands etc. The entire routine takes about 15 minutes.

Happy Valentine's Day!

We have been "cleaning house" and this has resulted in a resurrection of the old toddler toys. Sam , now 2 is playing under the play mat that he and all 3 of his brothers had when they were young. Matt is in the toy bin and later writing his Valentine cards for the class. Jasper is loving the snow, as is papa in his tractor...yes we do snow blow a path to the shed so he can load the furnace with wood!!


Happy Valentine's Day from our "Love Bugs" Sam and Tom as well as the rest of the family! They also say thank you for all the yummy treats.

By the way, Ben has lost yet another tooth. The MacNeills.

New Slippers!

Tom and Sam were pretty pleased when Jacquie knit them each a pair of slippers! They wore them all day, even during a play date on Wednesday with Aiden. Thank you very much Jacquie, the boys love them. The MacNeills.

Yes, we are eating German Bretzels!!!!

What a great day!! I got a call from the German Bakery in Hunter River and she was baking some pretzels. Do you think we wanted some? Sam ate the whole one!! This was after supper!!! Yummy and thank you !! The MacNeills

Just Some Fun!

The first 2 pictures are of Sam yesterday, with his ground hog mask!! He also loves Marlene and Laura's!!


We are having one of those fun days at home where the kids are playing, and playing some more!!! Sam even joins in on the rocket ship flight as there are 4 stools set up and ready. Ben is "Joe Dalton" , a bad guy who escapes from jail. Matt is a bad guy inventor. Tom is a bad batman. Who knows what Sam is but he has fun in his diaper all morning!! The boys did take a break to help papa make his coffee. Hope you are all having a fun day too!! (PS Mama got a sea glass necklace making lesson yesterday... who would have thought?) The MacNeills
