Weather on March 6

Just thought I would post about the balmy spring weather we are having here in Winnipeg. The weather this morning is -26 C or -13 F without the wind chill. Just a beautiful spring day here. I thought everyone might like to see the snow that we still have here and the way the girls are dressed to walk up to school. I am beginning to wonder will the snow ever melt??? I guess I have never seen a snowman in July.

New Haircuts

The girls finally got their hair cut. Here are the pictures of them now.

Danielle Speed skating Competition at MTS centre

We were so proud of Danielle for making the speed skating competition. It was held at the MTS centre which is a huge arena where the Jets used to play. It was neat to be able to watch her skate around. She didn't fall and we were really excited for her to have such a great opportunity.

Festival Du Voyageur

We just got back from the French festival. It was a lot of fun. The girls had a great time. The weather was -25C with the windchill of -34C. It was a little cold but we dressed in layers and the girls had hand warmers inside their gloves. The girls enjoyed all of the winter festivities especially going down the sled hills on the inner tubes. I was a little nervous when they went down and hit the fence but thank goodness no one got hurt. They also had a sled chute that was iced all over and the girls went down together on that several times. It was a great day.

Boxing Day

We had a great time on Canada's boxing Day. We went out to the country to an Uncles house and spent the day sledding, skating, skadooing, and skiing. It was a great time. The weather was nice only about -15 C or 10 F. The kids had a great time spending time with their cousins and the adults had just as much fun.

Christmas Morning

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE

Christmas morning arrived bright and early after we had finally gone to bed after midnight mass on Christmas Eve. We went to a french midnight mass, it was beautiful even though we did not understand a lot of the service but it was a gorgeous site, the candles and communion was really pretty. Mikayla awoke early because she was so excited. The girls both had a great morning opening presents and playing games. Kayla wanted a scooter from Santa which he brought her. Danielle wanted clothes this year and also she said anything. The girls are busy trying out their dancing gift from their Mimi and Papa. It is quite a workout. We will be heading out later for dinner at the families house. Hope everyone is having a great Christmas. We love you all bunches.
