Victoria's First Skate

Here are a few photos of Victoria's first attempt at skating.
She has been going once a week since after Christmas.
This was her first time out.

Mamy's 75th Birthday Party

We had a fantastic weekend on PEI for Mamy's Birthday!!!!! Uncle Steve flew in from Ottawa on Friday and we picked him up and went to PEI early as Matt got off work a few hrs early. Luckily Uncle Steve got ahead of the big storm and he made it on time! Mamy had no idea Uncle Steve was going to be with us! It was a great surprise. My mom was here from England all last week and was with us on PEI as well. We had so much fun! We went out to dinner with the entire family on Saturday and we played games until 4 AM on Saturday night!! Mamy did not know about the party we had planned on Sunday or the dinner we planned either. When we told her she was a bit worried as she doesn't like to be unprepared for things. After the party yesterday she was soo happy and thankful and said she will never forget it! We had a great time! We played music and sang all afternoon. Our family all pitched in and got Mamy enough money for a trip to England, a passport and some spending money! That will be a wonderful experience for her!!

Here are a few photos I took of the weekend and party.

Winter Storm Photos (by request)

Over the holidays we had quite the weather! We endured four storms in six days!! The first storm we had was the night of the 27th. I'd guess we got about 20 cms. The second storm was the 29th and I would guess we got about 30+ cms. The photos below are on the 31st, New Years Eve at Uncle Glenn's. I'd say we got 25+ cms.

Here is Victoria outside in the snow on the 31st at Uncle Glenn's with Cassie who you can't see.

Here is the snow in front of our house and our unplowed driveway after three storms in five days had passed. It's hard to tell just how high the banks were. The tree that is nearly burried and Matt's truck might help.
You can see the banks are as tall as Victoria. We walked into the house in snow up to our waist to get in. Fun times.
Here is the 4th storm, the 2nd of January. The worst one of all 4. We got 30+ cms and had very high winds blowing all of that snow all over the place!! Here's our back deck. The snow bank is as high as the door handle. How will Cassie go to the bathroom now?? haha
Looking outside our bedroom window Jan 2nd
Where is the driveway?? Matt plowed twice in one day just to get out the next morning.
There you have it!!

We had a great night at our party and I think/hope everyone else did also. Thank you to everyone who braved the storm warning and made the drive! I was too busy hosting to take many photos but here are a few...
