Waking up to a Winter Wonderland!


Wow! Last night when we went to bed there was not a sprinkle of snow on the ground. This morning we woke up to about 20cm of heavy, wet snow! For the kids it was magical. For Gerben and I it was work. Luckily it was about 0 degrees outside so it was pretty warm out. We bundled the kids up and took them out to enjoy the snow. They helped us shovel the driveway as well as took turns catching a ride on the sled as we pulled them around on the street. The kids had a blast playing the white stuff but poor Natalia just couldn't get the hang on walking in it. She fell several times and did a lot of whining to get us to help her up. It was so nice to have a change in the weather. It's so pretty to see the Christmas lights twinkling off the snow. I hope that the snow remains at least until Christmas. They it's welcome to melt away.

It has been a crazy weekend. Yesturday, we took off to Cambridge shopping and managed to finish up most of it. We only have a few more items to get and we are done. Yeah!!!! I really don't like trying to get through the busy malls at this time of year.

Today was Gerben's 32nd Birthday. Unfortunetly we didn't do much for him. With the crazy weather we spent ton of time outside shovelling and then this afternoon Emma had a birthday party to go to. Poor Daddy, kind of got forgotten so I will definetly have to make it up to him. I hope he understands. I am sure he would appreciate a nice big cherry cheese cake!

We love you honey! Happy Birthday!
