Ski Bum

This winter, our town's ski hill started offering lessons. Because of where we live, Carter is actually quite old for what age kids usually start skiing in this town. People here put their toddlers on skis as soon as they start to walk, lol. Initially Carter was a bit hesitant to try skiing (his personality with everything new) but after the first few runs down with his class, he would arrive at the bottom and look at us and shrug/throw his arms up, as if to say, "See! This is easy!". He picked it up surprisingly quick and he's been doing so good. He absolutely LOVES skiing and we can't wait until we can all go as a family together!

Candid Camera

So our sweet little girl sings all the time. Like all the time. But she doesn't sing normal songs. The tunes are normal songs, but she makes up her own words...kind of like her father, although he actually thinks his version is correct, haha :) Sorry Hun. Anyways I have been trying to get her songs on videotape, but she stops singing every time she sees me with the camera. So I turned it on and left the room, as she sang to the tune of the Primary Song, "Teacher, Do You Love me", which my Mom recently taught to Hayley.

My favorite line? "My life... Has a problem to FIX!". You can't deny she is delightful.

Winter Wonderland

So we have had alot of snow here. Like, alot. It's usually pretty mild here though, stays around -5* to -10* Celsius so you can actually enjoy the snow. We sure have been enjoying it! We've been sledding, snowmobiling and skiing. I have to say I have enjoyed this winter the most of probably any other winter in my life. Bold statement, I know...but I'm pretty confident in saying that. Just don't tell Mr. Hansomepants. I've worked very hard to convince him of my strong dislike of this season. I can't help it, I don't like being cold.

All the kids getting pulled behind the sleds. They went over and over and begged for more!

Panoramic views, have I mentioned how lucky we are to live here?

Toboganning Party...pretty happy kids!

More to come...namely pictures of Carter skiing. Bah, so stinkin cute!

Christmas pictures...very late.

Some of you may have noticed that I have not updated my blog for 21 days. Probably the longest blog break ever. It's not my fault. Telus Internet is terrible and I can't say enough bad things about it.

Onto happier things...an update of Christmas Day. We had an awesome holiday season together and I enjoyed every single moment. Here's some of my favorite pictures from Christmas day:
