Fun day today!

Went skating today!  The boys had a great time and skated for a lot longer than they usually do!  They also decided to toboggan after for a little while... it was us that were ready to go first!  We are so happy that they love to do stuff outside!

Some of my favourite memories as a kid were going to La Barriere Park, tobogganing, having super hot chocolate that we would cool down in the snow... and even some stew in tin foil on a fire, if I remember correctly!  As much as I love summer, I truly live in the right place because I completely love winter too!  And REAL winter, where there is enough snow, and cold enough to skate on the river and... and... and!  Truly appreciate that we have real winter and really hot summers!

 I love these guys:

Tobogganing

Went for a morning toboggan adventure.. No one else was there! Very fun!

We actually all sat in the snow at the end because it was so nice out! The "Merry Xmas" in the snow was just there... Not sure who did it but we enjoyed it!

New snowshoes

Enjoying the new snowshoes on Boxing Day

Merry Christmas!!

Just sang in a lovely Midnight Mass... Quite a treat to walk along side of the beautiful old church because they had ice containers with glowing tea lights... So pretty

Hoar frost today
