Winter time fun

This has been a record year for snowfall in the lower mainland and it has been SO much fun. We were pounded with snowstorm after snowstorm and had a white Christmas for the first time in a long time.

Getting ready to head out and play in the snow, Raeya gets really excited when you bring out her snow pants.

Christmas day we went for a walk and enjoyed the great weather and all the snow. The snow was actually up to just under Aidan's knee cap. CRAZY!!!

Ready, Set, Go! I think Raeya's a bit of a thrill seeker like her dad.

YAY!!!

Dad, I think you're loosing me.


Aidan made Raeya a slide for her sled....it was actually quite steep and she laughed the entire way down.
Weeeeeeeee!!
This picture was taken at daycare and Lori emailed it to me, it's our wallpaper for our computer.

Amidst all the stuck cars and shoveling more times than we can count. This snow was a blessing for us as we watched Raeya's eyes get huge with excitement every time we went to play in the snow. Her excited shrills as she wanted us to go faster and faster pulling her sled gets me smiling just as I write this.

1st Birthday

Happy Birthday Raeya!!
November 16th was her party and November 18 was her actual birthday.

We waited until Raeya's first birthday before she had cake and sugar for the most part. This picture is worth a thousand words....she likes cake.

Testing out her new rocking chair from the St.Laurent family. She loves rocking in it.

Mom, it's kind of messy, how do you attack something like this?

I was determined to make lady bug cakes and I think they turned out great.

Yay balloons, I think that was her favorite part of the party.

Raeya woke up from her nap to a house full of people, she's still waking up with Aidan.

Our "love bug"

This halloween Raeya was a love bug thanks to Nana Lesley buying Raeya her first costume





Our first stop...Pastor Keith and Ms Melissa's house. 
Too much fun, Ms Melissa let Raeya take her pick of the candy bowl.

mmmmm....smarties. Actually she really liked them because they made noise.



Our "love bug" loves to read.

Nana Hughy drove out from Chilliwack to enjoy Raeya's first halloween with us. 
Overall it was a great night.
