A girl..!

..and here she is!! Our new little niece! Isn't she precious? Saylor Joy is her name. She was born to Shaun and Bonnie on Dec 30th and we are so lucky we get to give her cuddles!:)

A person forgets quickly how small and cuddly a new baby is! So fun to watch the reaction of the little people, when they see a living 'doll'!

We went up to Ash and Ryan's to celebrate Bonnie's birthday, (Which in fact, is today! Happy Birthday Bonnie!!) and got to meet our new niece! Was a delightful evening!

Holidays - December 2011

We had heaps of fun on our Christmas break this year! There were piles of parties ( most of which I don't have photos of..), great company and of course the filling of our bellies, with
 all of the yummy things you could imagine! We had gorgeous balmy temperatures to boot!

First thing we did was head up to Zoey's for a sleepover! She is quite the diva! 

The next morning we went to Shaun and Bonnie's for a delicious turkey dinner! Mmmmm! With games and skating and we even snuck in a little yoga! ;)


On boxing day G&G Tarves came with two of our cousins from Okotoks! They stayed most of the week! O, the fun we did have! X-country skiing everyday, yoga in the evening, skating, sledding etc...

Then when G&G had to leave, Turell and Marisa came with the rest of their crew! This livened the place up considerable, as the big sleds and quads came out! Missed a photo of riding the horse - sorry Marisa..!


The last afternoon of 2011, was celebrated with Shel, Lindsey (Sorry Linds, I've probably spelled your name wrong again..!), Ash&Ryan, and Mom&Dad. We had a little lunch and then a Great ski and a yoga stretch afterwards! 
Here we are enjoying ourselves ( right Shel?!) skiing! We are too lazy to undo the fence, which will explain the first top photo! The poor boy with the red pants had no grip until we put proper wax on his skiis, which led to a huge amount of muttering and griping for a portion of the event! :D Again, I will say,"Poor Shel!!". 


I do doubt that he will ever come skiing with me again...

..but how could he not, with this kind of scenery?! I mean, really. ;0)

Happy New Year to you all! Hope you had a lovely holiday!

..before the holidays

A beautiful pink sunrise! 


Jude really knows his way around the kitchen! Here he is making us all peanut butter sandwiches - to our surprise! :) Notice the double dipping going on there!?

Emarie just loves riding on Saga - I'm a little disappointed that these are fuzzy..
