Edmonton was bombarded by a huge snowstorm last week and while Jess and I were out shoveling the piles and piles of snow off of our driveway, the kids came outside too to play in our little winter wonderland.
We bought bunk beds for Connor and Maira this week and these are the boxes their beds came in - they made a perfect fort for Connor to play in.
Here's a view of my lovely garden I blogged about this past summer, to show how much snow we've got. Those are my peas, almost completely buried now. Hard to believe I'll be planting new veggies in this garden in 4 months!
Shae loves to ski, she learned how by going to her school's ski club every winter since Grade 2. We try and go skiing at our little river valley ski hill here in Edmonton at least once a year and we've been taking Connor along with us since he was 3 1/2 but this is the first year that he really got the hang of it and therefore really enjoyed himself. He looks like he's about to fall down in this picture of me and him skiing down the baby hill but he's doing fine.
Here is a short movie of him skiing, first down the baby hill and then on a much steeper hill which we've never allowed him on before for fear that he would just try going straight down and end up breaking his neck - so this was a big accomplishment for him to go down this hill, even if he did have Jess' help the whole way! (That's Shae in the pink coat partway up the hill, beside the stranded snowboarder).
