Snowy (?!?) Walk

Well, the snow finally started here in Southern Ontario today.  Anneke and Grandma and Grandpa went out for a little walk.

Tomorrow we head up to Eastern Ontario....do they have more snow for us to play in?

Christmas #1

We survived the first four months of the school year and are now thoroughly enjoying our two weeks off!  This year, Anneke is really having fun with Christmas--she loves opening the presents, although she is sometimes more intrigued with the paper than with the gift inside the paper!  But she is definitely loving her new toys!  Here are a few pictures from Christmas #1:

 She got a rocking horse from Grandma and Grandpa.  She's not too sure about it....it neighs and the tail "swishes."  So she pets it, but doesn't stay sitting on it for long.

 Anneke is totally into forts lately.  She loves crawling in and out and playing peek-a-boo with whoever will play with her.  Here Grandpa is in her fort with her.

 Playing Wii.  I will be the first to admit that I suck at Mario Cart!

Snow Fun

We got a fairly good dumping of snow yesterday.  So today Anneke and I walked to the mailbox.  It was really the first time she's walked any distance in her boots and the first time the snow pants have been put on, and she did really well!

 At first she fell down in it and didn't really like that.  But once I put her mittens on and showed her that she could put her hands in it she got the hang of it!

A short video of her playing in the snow:

Baby boot prints, tiny steps.  I love it!
