Winter wonderland

Our luggage was lost on the way and Kaya promptly fell ill but we settled into a white Christmas with family.

Ottawa for the holidays

Early Christmas

We had an early Christmas gathering at our house to celebrate the season together.

Peace and quiet

Forsaking the zany malls and busy streets, we headed out to the rolling foothills along the Bow and peered at buildings from years ago.

Waiting at the train crossing but alas no trains.

Adlai's preschool party

My little man - starting to look so grown up.

Presents that Adlai made for us - a Christmas card and a light, along with our Christmas tradition decoration.

Gingerbread men and tree trimming

Winter has moved in and Kona surveys her snowy domain.

Kaya and Adlai help roll and cut gingerbread men with Grandma Maihaa.

Eating the spoils.

Uncle B helps put up the lights.

So does Amanda.

Christmas spirit!

Zoe's Birthday and Rapunzel Cake

My niece just turned 3. Happy Birthday little lady.

Pretty amazing work Auntie Melynda!
