It's about time...

I have been wanting for the last few months to sit down and write and post some pictures. Well, this is better late than never! Here is a little bit of what we have been doing lately. xoxo





For a complete catch-up!




Nothing like having my girls around me on my birthday! xo


























Victoria celebrated her 17th Birthday by going skiing with her friends in the day and then having some friends over for cake and girfriends over to sleep. We then had a big birthday breakfast with Kevin's side of our family to celebrate her big day (the following weekend as on Victoria's actual birthday, Hannah was quite ill)


Hannah became sick a few days after Christmas (fever, cough). After 5 days with fever, her doctor confirmed that she had pneumonia in her left lung. Our poor baby Hannah had never really been sick before. Thankfully, once she started the antibiotic, she was quickly on the mend. This pick is of Hannah and Poppy sharing some snuggle time.








Mara-Grace went to a day camp with her Sparks unit! She had the option of sleeping over, but we all knew we weren't ready for that quite yet! She had a fun day! Mara loves Sparks very much!


Year of the Dragon got off to a wonderful start! We celebrated with a feast at home (spent the entire day in the kitchen... yummy!) and we had my parents over for supper. We celebrated with our main meal the day before actual Chinese New Year (Mom was having dental surgery on the Monday). Mara-Grace's class has been doing a theme on China and they invited us to come in to 'fly' to China on Chinese New Year! Hannah and I happily volunteered and we entered Mara's classroom which was decorated for CNY and also as a plane! Three kindergarten classes were involved and they had gone all out with their activities and ideas! They had stamps and tickets, passports, luggage, tv's on the back of the seat in front of them just like on a real plane, they had stations set up to be rotated for the rest of the day. The children and Hannah ate rice with chopsticks and fortune cookies for a snack, then Mara and friends were going to make a fan, a dragon, use Chinese Ink etc. What an incredible day!!! I was so excited for everyone involved! Madame J. even had Hongbao for the children!!! She is incredible! We are so thankful that she is Mara-Grace's teacher!
