To celebrate we got together with Ben's Family for a day of ice fishing. It was CHILLY but so much FUN!! I kinda LOVE living up here...
All Bundled up sitting inside the ice fishing hut...it was dreamy and warm in there
Ben and I...we LOVE each other
Ooooh...someone is 30 weeks pregnant, and looks every week of it!
Sisters vs Sister in laws...can you tell who's who? Our hats are a good indication!
Silly Hailey and some of her cousins...in the sled waiting to get pulled around
It looks like we're having fun right?
So pretty....so fun
Paige...of course... fell asleep in my arms, and then I...of course...transferred her to Ben's
It was such a FUN day and we hope to do it again!
p.s. I have opinions on stuff...did you know that? One tiny little thought I had during the week of cold - when EVERYONE who grew up here was complaining about how cold it is - is that THIS is what we signed up for!!! This is NOT the first time in my life that the weather has dipped to minus 30 (C) PLUS windchill...and it definitely won't be the last! So why were so many people so surprised?? This is what life here is like! It gets a little cold from time to time. But life here also comes with so many benefits...such as: Family, Friends, Great Church community, beautiful LONG summer days, Sunny Sunny winters, and those miraculous, magical things called Chinooks that melt EVERYTHING in site allowing us to handle just one more week of winter (or maybe one more month...or two)

I hear ya! You are so funny, always promoting Alberta! It's good to be proud! The grass is not always greener on the other side! Way to be so positive. I wish we lived closer. I mean we are pretty close, but not close enough to just drop in on the -30 days for a visit and some hot chocolate. Miss you and your girls!
Thats sisters picture was too funny! I didn't even notice the hats. Cute pictures meagan! It was such a fun day :)
What a fun day you all had. Great experiences and great togetherness. It looks like the little cousins fresh back a a couple of years in the Caribbean have settled right in.
Hugs,

FUN. I love that kind of winter playing...next snowfall we need to plan a sledding/snowmobiling day. We'll be staying at Matt's parents for 2 weeks while they're away soon, its perfect out there:)
