(maybe) the best thing about our new house…
… is the sledding on our hill in the backyard. Oh the fun! We’ve lined it with twinkle lights for the night runs, and enjoy friends and maybe a little warmer fun in the day. David took the boys for the first run at the earliest snow in the month Continue Reading
Snow!
We’ve actually had a lovely snowy winter this year. Though it hasn’t been too packy, Alex and Aidan have been out quite a bit, and even on a sledding adventure with Papa. (Aidan wasn’t too sure about that whole downhill thing, until Papa took out the phone/camera and he got Continue Reading
Glitter Snowflakes
One of our little projects this week was to introduce Alexander to the world of paper snowflakes. We had plans to do them for a few days, and when Miss Sammie called to invite us over for playtime and a deco night, we thought we would share our paper-snipping fun. Continue Reading
December First… Snow, Carollers, and Mini-Tree
Today was a very good day. We woke up this morning to the first snow of the season, and though it didn’t last through the day, it had covered the grass with a ‘sheet’ (certainly not a blanket) of white to remind the little ones of the wint’ries to come. Continue Reading
snow much fun!
with february almost out, we finally got our big white fluffy dumpings, and not to waste for a minute! we’ve delved into the heart of the season with some shoveling, valentine’s sledding, building a little snow cave (that even Tatou had to try out), making snow angels, rainbow ice muffins Continue Reading

When You’re Too Impatient for the Big Snow…
We’ve been getting a little impatient around here for the big snow dumping. So yesterday, in a break from the nose-bitting temperatures, we took some moments to enjoy the dustings that we’ve had so far. Aidan spent most of the post-lunch galavant watching excitedly from the window. When Muma decided Continue Reading
Alexander in the Snow
Sunday, we headed to Pony Park for some time in the snow, and actually took a video camera! (If you watch the video in YouTube itself you can click on “watch in High Quality” and actually see our faces!)
Dans La Neige…
Ok, so we did it- but as you can see, somebody wasn’t all too happy about it! It probably took us over five minutes to get Alexander into his little snow suit. When all was said and done, he lay on the floor in a blue marshmallow heap- he couldn’t Continue Reading
First Snow!
Finally! It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! We had over 10 inches of snow on Sunday. We did venture out to do some Christmas shopping and Alexander was less than pleased when the blowing, biting wind plucked the blanket off his carrier and nipped his nose. (Though we Continue Reading
