Adorable sweetness...

If the sun isn't shining up in the far north...may this bring a little sunshine to your day!

Who could resist this innocent, wrinkled face??

Or how about one of these pink-nosed, frosty lashed...

Yes, I said coat wearing!

A suitable bed-time snack...sugar!
Miss Alyssa...

Lil' Shoppers

Mr Gruff
Miss Giggle

I told her that this stuffed-suit-on-a-sled was her Dad who was sledding w/ the guys in the mountains and she tho't this was quite funny - so she gleefully posed for a picture w/ her "dad" at the mall.

Dashing through...

the snow...
in the Bravo's open sleigh...

along the rails we go...

laughing all the way...

bells on trains won't ring...

giving us a fright...

what fun it is to laugh...

and drive...

a snowmachine...

all night!

The Good Ol' Hockey Game...

Hmmm and where are the dads when there are 8 skates to be tied?
So, we took over the Eagle River rink on Boxing Day and we spotted an Eagle...no, wait that's Aj!

Here's Miss Alys, racing across the ice...

Graeme, waiting for the game to begin...

Spence, waiting for Levi's big pass...

Some of the mid game action!

A frozen figure skater...

More of the action...

A cute goalie!

Uhm - might this be...tonsil hockey??

Equipment maintenance by the boards...

The team - minus Dw...

Who needs a puck when you've got Auntie's mitt?

Some more of the crazy action...

Dw, lacing up!

Aren't G'pas & G'mas the BEST?

Have your children ever wondered how to prolong the inevitable...bed time?

Step 1 - Locate the largest book (Curious George Chronicles will do)...

Step 2 - Locate the nearest Grandparent...

Step 3 - Firmly wrap the Grandparent around your little finger...

Step 4 - Tug gently on Grandparent's heart to ensure a tight wrap - a light kiss on the cheek or bear hug wouldn't hurt...

Step 5 - Smile adorably at Grandparent, sit quietly and listen intently...

Step 6 - Sweetly, (using your best manners) ask Grandparent to read just one story each...

Step 7 - When those stories have been completed, sweetly whisper in Grandparent's ear (again using best manners & be sure to whisper loud enough for Grandparent to hear) and request "just one more"...

Step 8 - Continue to repeat the above step (7) until book is complete, sleep overcomes you...or a bothersome parent happens to notice, and sends you off to bed...

Toboggan on the tundra...

Or at least that is how it felt...so warm & balmy!

Graeme
Spence

Lys

The lazy load getting a ride back up the hill...

You know it's cold when...

Reminds me of the song "A few of my favourite things..."

Particularily the line that says, "Snowflakes that stay on my nose & eyelashes..."

Levi

The view from the bottom...

Frosty snow flakes...

And freeze dried weeds...

One of the last "group" runs...

Walking over the G'ma's old house...for a xmas day slide.
