Hello all! Yes we are still here - sorry again for the lack of photos and updates.
Here is a whole bunch for you to ponder.
We visited the very festive Spruce Meadows Christmas Show, where Rory got up close and personal with a couple of Santa's reindeer.
Rory's market purchase - a classic wooden spinning top. He's getting the hang of it.
A cold snap froze one of our favourite walking spots - Fish Creek. We spent an afternoon walking on the creek instead of along side it. Rory even dug in the snow to find a few rock to bounce of the frozen creek.
Cam was bundled up snug and warm enjoying the wintery scenery.
`Hey mum, look at me!!`
We also checked out Once Upon a Christmas at Heritage Park this year.
It was chilly day, but we all loved the Christmas train exhibit and did a few crafts.
We have also had some pretty frigid weather over the last month - days where with the wind chill it was in the minus 30`s. Way too cold for these little munchkins to venture out. All they could do was watch the snow continue to fall outside, wondering when it would stop.
Plenty of time inside to find silly things to do to keep us amused!
Some exciting news - our favourite local spot, the zoo, finally reopened completely after the devastating floods in June. It was awesome to visit our old friends again. Rory seems to have made a new friend with the hippo. They sat there staring at each other for over 10 minutes.
Finally we had a chinook wind and we had some fun out in the snow. Even Cam was enjoying a sleigh ride and crawling around in the funny white stuff in our yard.
Some of our wintery weather.
Rory has become quite the helper with all the shoveling.
And one last parting video of Cam standing up for the first time just this past weekend. How our lives are about to change again - with soon to be two boys running around our house!
