I've had yet another birthday. Gosh the years just keep rolling by, don’t they.

Air met me at Costco for a lunch date… we had hot dogs and poutine (healthy meal). Air accidentally knocked over my drink and it spilled all over me. I was SOAKED. My shoes were squishing as I walked around shopping afterwards. Haha… Air felt so bad, it was easy to forgive him.

In the evening we were going to have a quiet night with some cake and a movie, until Air’s family surprised me by stopping by with fondue! Awesome!!! We love our family.

some birthday cards

 

I also got an awesome package from my parents. A beautiful quilt and a cool watermelon knife seen below ↓↓

The best gift I got was when Ames (for the first time) started babbling “ma-ma-ma-ma-ma” nonstop since last Saturday. The best.

Thanks for making my day and my year so wonderful Air-bear and Ames. I love you to the moon.

We had a fantastic day at the Silver Skate Festival with the family again this weekend. I have a feeling this is becoming a favorite tradition for all of us. I love it!

We went cross-country skiing! My first time… I fell more than once. But boy, that Air is a pro. I got the hang of it eventually and had SO MUCH FUN, and a great workout.

It’s so wonderful that the temperatures have been rising a bit… I’ve really missed enjoying the outdoors.

The girls made some bannock,

and we all made maple syrup candy in the snow… yum

Ames couldn’t keep his hands off mine

 

We got to watch the snow sculptor's at work this year. awesome

 

The huge luge slides for kids were pretty sweet.

New this year was this little theatrical forest trail for Little Red Riding Hood… cute

  

plus… hay monster

see last year's family day here.

.V Day V (5)

Hope you had a lovely love day yesterday. We’ve got an extra little 21 pound valentine this year. His name is Ames and he is the best.

I made sugar cookies and we got ZEBRA CAKES and chocolates. And cream soda… because it’s pink (cream soda is always pink in Canada). So Valentines Day is my excuse to eat all these sweets. Yum!

We went for sushi… mmmmmm (drooling)

 

Also, all hail my Mother! Queen of paper crafts!

She sends us the most unique handmade valentines every year… I do love her so
