christmas in MB...

We had Christmas in Austin with Michael's family a little late, but it was still a lot of fun! Here's the pictures...

this is Cate opening the box with the hat that I knit her in it...I actually added ear flaps after the fact, I'll have to try and get a picture of the revised hat.

Cate of course was the star of the whole weekend...especially watching her chew on her toes...

Here's some more pictures from the festivities:

christmas in BC...

Well, we spent 11 days in BC. I think this was the hardest time we've every had with the weather...it felt so dark and rainy the whole time we were there. Of course it didn't help that there was fresh snow on the ground the day we left Winnipeg.



Anyway, we had a good time visiting with family, going to family gatherings and seeing some friends. My apologies, I really don't have pictures...perhaps I can get some from my family and update this, but here's what I've got:



This at Uncle Bud & Aunt Sherry's, who invited us to join them in one of their family traditions...making gingerbread houses! We had a great time!

merry christmas from us to you!

classes are done!!!!!!

what else can I say except that hooray, classes are done for another semester. In a few days we're heading to BC for the holidays and when we get back I still have a week of freedom before classes start up again!
