November and December 2015

November and December, 2015
Enjoying some lunch between games during Micah's hockey tournament.

Selfie before heading to Jonathan's work gala dinner. He had another great year!

Back on the track, enjoying the mild fall temps.

Seth swimming in his first pre-competitive club night with the Brantford Aquatic Club.

Not too shabby, if I say so myself. Leah was quite impressed with mom's braiding ability. 

Hometown Hockey in Brantford. After her own hockey practice, Leah got to meet CDN Olympic Gold medalist, Jennifer Botterill.

Racing the Tannenbaum 10 km in early December. First race on the Road to Rio.

Off to Hometown Hockey at the Wayne Gretzky Sports Centre. Incredible event!

#TeamDuChene

Traditional gingerbread house decorating with the Summerhays family. 

DuChene family trip of 17 to Cayo Coco, Cuba. Pool was our hangout. 

Micah loved the beach volleyball, just like his dad.

Some of the men, cooling off in the ocean. 

Great food at the beach: rice n' beans, fish, veggies and salads.

Seth takin' it all in. They sure loved the "free" food and drinks!

Beauty of a view. Enjoyed the shade at the beach. 

Thanks for the trip, Grammy and Grampa! It was perfect in every way.

Merry Christmas family pic before departing the resort. 

Moses was glad to see us.

Christmas morning with the kids. So special to celebrate Jesus's birth.

Pleased with his books.

Trick scooter.

Sweet little doll for a sweet little girl. She was thrilled.

Hugs and kisses to mom and dad.
