Day 59 - A Winter Walk on the Beach

Mike and I took a walk down to the beach before heading home today.  I couldn't decide which pic to post, so I will post a bunch.  LOL

Just a fun path in the grasses...

(Mike jumping into my picture.  I think it turned out GREAT!)

Day 19 - Off the beaten path

Today I spent morning number 2 in search of jeans for myself.  NOT a fun task, but needed.  I was happy with myself and my purchase and on my drive home noticed how the trees were so beautiful covered in ice/snow.  I wanted to pull over that moment to take a picture, but was on a busy street and the rest of the scene was not exactly eye catching.  So... instead of turning left at the next lights, I turned right.  Which led me to the country.  I drove for a few minutes until I found something I was happy with and pulled over to snap a couple pics out my car window.  This is so not something I would normally do.  I am not one to do things without planning and forthought.  Boy did it feel good!  At this point, not even sure I care how the photos turned out... I am just happy that I ventured off the beaten path!

Day 17 - Tobagganing and h-o-t t-u-b-b-i-n-g

My friend and I took the girls tobagganing today.  It was the second time for Haley but the first time for Paige.  They both had a great time and it really amazes me how they really have NO FEAR!

Haley doing her stuff!  She had a riot!

And Paige and I going down!  I couldn't believe how much she liked it!!

And who could resist THIS! ;)

Then for a relaxing afternoon, Mike and I decided to take the girls into the hot tub (first time for them in the winter).  The funny part was that we were trying to keep it a secret and when I started spelling HOT TUB, Haley right away said "Are we going in the hot tub?!?!?"  Darn it... when did she learn to spell???  Secrets out. ;)

Anyways, here is a couple shots from then.

Day 11 - Haley tries out Skating!

Ok... so I'm cheating a bit today. ;)  I didn't ACTUALLY take todays pictures.  Gary (grandpa) got handed the camera as they were leaving for Haley's first skating experience today to snap a couple pics since I wouldn't be there.  I think he did a GREAT job and Haley LOVED skating. 

Thanks Gary!!!  We couldn't do this without you!

Day 10 - Sparkles, Birthdays and Kisses

Haley was commenting this morning on how the snow is sparkling today since it was so sunny.  I thought that was such a cool thing for her to notice.  She wanted me to take a photo of it for my blog today and although I thought it a GREAT idea, it turned out to be difficult to capture.  I was taking this photo out my in-laws back door so I didn't set up the shot well.  It is the best I could do to capture the sparkles today though.

So, we were at my inlaws' to celebrate my birthday (again) and had a lovely brunch.  Nancy (my mother in law) was appauled I was taking this picture of her table as she said it wasn't her finest. ;)

And finally... my favourite shot of the day. ;)  Gary (father in law and Haley's current "babysitter") came downstairs and this was the greeting between the two.

Day 3 - Winter Wonderland

I can't believe how much snow we have gotten!  It has been snowing solid for days!

Sarah, Emily and Claire came over today for our gift exchange and the girls played in the snow.  Haley and Claire had a GREAT time building and playing in their snowfort.
