Neighbourhood egg hunt and birthday celebrations

Like that picture? What it really says is “Fine mummy, I’m looking at your camera, take your picture already.”

Today was a busy day. It was cold (-10) with the wind but beautifully sunny. We walked down to our local school with our neighbours for the neighbourhood easter egg hunt. R and B rode in the wagon. The hunt was fun, but the school yard had been packed down, rutted with footprints, then it melted again, then froze. It was a very slippery nightmare to walk on. Afterwards, the kids traded in their plastic eggs for a toy. The local Starbucks provided hot chocolate and coffee, that was just perfect on such a cold day.

Later on in the evening grandma and grandpa took us out for supper at a place called “The Blue Moon”. They had good schnitzel. There was also someone doing live music, which R loved. A few songs in he started doing some kids’ songs and R went up to the front to dance. She was sad when we had to leave. Then we had cake at Grandma and Grandpa’s to celebrate grandma’s birthday that we missed while she was away. A fun day, here are the pictures

Lots of happiness today!

Well, it’s been a day with mostly good news.   My brother, wife and children arrived.   They will be spending Christmas with us.  We are very exicted.   We managed to get to the tree farm and marched around in the snow and found a tree.   Uncle M cut it down, and we hauled it back.   Tomorrow it will get decorated.

Also on the good news front we have a new NIECE!  WHOOHOOO!!! She was born at 7:05pm Ukraine time.   At this point we hear mom and baby are doing well.   I hope Uncle B has a picture on his web site tomorrow.

Finally!

Yes, I am finally posting our pictures from San Fransisco a few weeks ago.  Check them out in the galleries!  We had a wonderful day at Half Moon Bay on the beach, and most of the shots are from there.
