Getting Ready for Saturna

Killing a snowy day indoors. Katie loves her new shopping cart and Mommy thought this looked like a good place for Megan. They both loved it until the cart tipped over. Oops, won't be doing that again.
We thought we should catch up with Gabby before we headed off for New Years! Both girls were a little tired and some Sesame Street was necessary.

And We are Home

After 2 days of rain there is still this much snow in our neighbourhood - Geoff figured about 2 feet left. A couple hours of digging got rid of the ice on the walk and the driveway!

Boxing Day

Katie tried toboganning! And enjoyed it!
The lifty is a bit slow sometimes...
Warming up and enjoying a new book. Megan's new trick is to stick out her tongue, but she seems to think it's an integral part of smiling now.
And while we are away it keeps snowing in Vancouver.... This isn't even all that accumulated!

'Twas the Night Before Christmas

Finishing off the gingerbread with icing and smarties.

The magic of Christmas Eve.
Leaving out cookies for Santa.
Merry Christmas everyone!

Getting Close to Christmas


A break in the clouds shows on the lake.

Time to make gingerbread cookies!

Mommy gets artsy.

The girls try on their Christmas dresses.
Not the best shot, but proof that Megan is starting to sit on her own for a few seconds.

In Kelowna




Geoff and I got out for a walk in the sun while the girls slept. The snow was lovely and fluffy and called for a snow angel.

Days at Home

Katie enjoyed a nap in her tunnel!
Megan is getting ready for Christmas!
I thought I would try Megan in the backpack in this snow - immediately after the camera was away Megan was crying, back to the front carrier.
Katie having fun with the magic spoon in the bath. Along with a plastic cup this is the favoured bath toy at the moment - the most amazing things come out of that cup.... We've had diamond rings, but usually it's pumpkin soup.
Katie is of an age to decide what she's wearing herself. So she is often wearing hats around the house! She also loves to play in the sink and "help" with dishes.

Winter Weekend

Kaitlyn is a great sweeper of things...


Hurry........HAAARRRRD!
(curling reference)

Katie and Gabby in the swimming pool. It was later filled with snow. I was thinking about a swim up bar and tequila at the time... but hot chocolate was all that was available.



We had a house full of friends - it was a great way to spend the morning.
