Snow Much Fun

We headed to Sylvan Lake for a 4th birthday celebration this weekend.

As usual Julie put on a fabulous party with great food, decorations and an amazing cake.

The highlight of the day for us though was the activity chosen by the birthday girl.

Tobogganing!

I was not a diligent party goer and obviously did not read the invitation thoroughly.

My family was very ill-prepared for sliding our bums down snow covered hills.

Luckily, there were extra snow pants rustled up for Fiona so she could partake.

Fiona has been tobogganing with my parents before so was happy to go again.

We were a little more apprehensive but at 2&3/4 the little chicken needed a companion.

I stepped up first but it wasn't long before she was requesting that "Daddy 'boggan wif me".

By the end we may have been a little wet but were having a great time.

I even took Cedric on his first trip down the hill.

Snow Day

I know, I know, it's all over Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and blogs.

I can't help it though.

The first snow is always a little exciting.

Don't hate me just yet, I'm not praying for a dump or anything.

I just love watching my kids experience the snow.

This was Cedric's first glimpse of the white stuff and suffice it to say he was puzzled.

It was also the first year that Fiona could really enjoy it.

She's steady enough to run through the flakes screaming "I's gots snow on a my nose Mommy".

And how is it that kids instinctively open their mouths to catch snowflakes?

Now I'm just looking forward to making snowpeople and snowangels.

{Ok, maybe I'm hoping for a bit of a dump.}
