Skiing fun!

As many people know, here in Alberta we have a provincial holiday on the third Monday of February. This year, we went skiing at Norquay with Grandpa and Grandma. Unfortunately, Ethan's ski pants stayed in the van so when Grandpa took him skiing, he had to borrow Megan's. Casey and I spent most of our time there exploring the lodge. Here are some pictures!

Joint Party

As Ethan isn't old enough yet to go to school, we had a second party the day after Megan's for both kids. Unfortunately, only Grandpa and Grandma were able to come but still, a good visit was had by all.


A big hit with Ethan (and Casey) - a book of Thomas stories!

Ethan also got a train table for all his Thomas trains that fits under his bed! Unfortunately, I don't currently have a picture of it and Megan got some triple ruffle leggings by KPea Original and a big coloring book for presents.


Megan's Sixth Birthday

This year, as Megan is in kindergarten, she got to have a birthday party of her own with some of her friends from school. She had a great time and I'm sure is looking forward to a repeat of this event next year with her Grade 1 friends!

Catching up!

I realize I haven't blogged in awhile, so here are a couple of big posts to catch everyone up on what's been happening.

In December, Megan and Ethan participated (and I use that term very loosely :)) in our church's Sunday School Christmas program and Megan also participated with her kindergarten class and several others in the Section 1 Christmas program. Here are a couple pictures from those programs.
