Goodbye Calgary, Hello Vancouver!

We came back to Calgary from Vernon on January 1st and by January 18th we had packed and moved and were living in Helen and Buu's!

Below - taking a packing break at Menchies :-)

I will sure miss the view of the Rockies from our kitchen window

A picture that Immy drew of us sledding down a hill.

We had some beautiful sunrises in Calgary


Immys last day of school - they had a dance party for her!

Sledding with friends while I packed one day.

The day before the movers came. We were all packed with nothing to do so we spent the morning at Bowness park.










Leaving shot of our little house in Arbour Lake, NW Calgary. Such a cute house.


We spent the last two nights at an airport hotel. We literally spent all of Saturday at the pool!


And we are in Pitt Meadows!!

Loving the change in weather! Here we are out for bike ride on a trail near Helen and Buu's.

We rode to the park for a picnic!

Our new house! We take possesion at the end of March.


Today we went to Whonnock lake in Maple Ridge






 While we were staying at the Lam's Ben joined in with Eli and Immy doing their school work!

Immy drew a picture of a campfire


Loving being able to sit outside! In January! Two and a half winters in cold provinces have convinced me never ever to leave BC again!


Random gathering on the stairs

Beautiful afternoon at the park

Uncle David reading to his little buddy Ava

Love Ava joining in with the 'big' boys playing x box.


Ben turned 4!

Ava became a Jedi

Immy had lots of fun at Bens gymnastics birthday.

Someone else ( a little older) had a birthday too...

Playing under the table!


Eli and Immy have joined 'stagecoach' which is a performing arts school. They do 3 hours on  Saturday. An hour each of Drama, Music and Dance. They both LOVE it.


This week the kids completed a world map puzzle.


Eli playing with Ava. He loves his little cousin so much that I think we should have had a third... too late now lol!







Christmas and New Year in Vernon

 We flew to Vernon on Christmas day as flights were much cheaper! I seem to be missing photos from Christmas eve and Christmas morning. I'll have to figure out where they are and add them later. Here we are in Calgary Airport.

We arrived right at dinner time and my fabulous mama had dinner all ready for us as soon as we got there! What a treat!

Photo taken by Eli!


Hugs for Anne!

And Papa

Opening presents on boxing day

Nice earnings papa!

Aunty Leah played for hours with Immy

While Eli watched hockey with Uncle Dan

Pics by Dan of kids sledding in park 





We spent a freezing cold day up Silver Star at tube town

They had so much fun. I wasn't sure how Immy would like it as she hadn't been before but she got to the top for her first run and told the guy who gives them a push 'spin me fast'!

Beautiful sunny day = soo cold!



Eli coming down for his last run of the day/night!


Immy and daddy made a snowman

Christmas tree family photo with Charlie!

View from mum and dads

We watched a movie one night and David and Sheila were obviously really into it ;-)

Bowling!


New Years Eve dinner! 
Eli and Papa wore matching (sorta) ties!








Dance party at midnight!

On New Years day we tried out Nanas snowshoes in the back yard!
