Pictures from Manitoba

Here's a few pics from our trip to Manitoba. We had to find some things to do when it was so cold outside.

On the drive there, Libby REALLY wanted to look at my magazine (like screaming, crying, wanting), so I let her. She sat there for about an hour just looking through it. I guess I need to get a Maclean's subscription! It definitely helped the car ride!
Here Daryl and Libby are playing in the fort that they built at the cabin. They had a lot of fun and the blanket made their hair very staticy. (I know that's not really a word but it just seemed to be the one that I needed to use). Notice that Libby's pigtails are already longer that the last post! That was only a couple weeks ago, but I feel like her hair is thicker now already!
This is Libby right after her bath....they had the perfect sized towels, so I thought I would have some fun! I think she looks adorable!

Oh, I also just wanted to tell you all a valuable lesson Libby learned during her week in Manitoba. She discovered that you can wave for BOTH "hi" and "bye"! It's like a whole new world has been opened up for her. Before she would only wave bye, but now she has the option to do it for both!! She has been ecstatic with this new revelation! Oh to see the world through a child's eyes and to see the joy they get from the littlest things.

We finally got our mac here (we ordered it Wednesday night and it came on Monday already.... how fast is that!!)
This is actually only the second time that I have touched the computer. We've been
super busy, and Daryl has been doing a lot of designing, plus just getting this computer to be the same as our old one.
So here are some pictures of our last few months.


Here we are at the Queen Elizabeth Community Association Holiday Fest. It was a lot of fun, but it was super cold so we didn't do any of the outside stuff. Here Libby is decorating her gingerbread man.... she really liked eating the gum gums. This was in the beginning of December.









Here is our tree all decorated for Christmas... Libby was feeling a little left out, so we started to decorate her too! She loved it and was very proud of her ribbon.

Notice her hair length here... it's still pretty short, and this is in the middle of December.















We spent the first part of Christmas at the Grunau farm. It was so wonderful to spend time with the family. I'm not used to having siblings (I'm an only child for those of you who don't know), and I really love it! It was great to visit and catch up! The nicest part was being able to see our niece, Taylor! Libby and Taylor LOVED playing together and they were very entertaining. They were so silly all the time it was hilarious!
This picture was taken on Christmas morning, right after the girls woke up.







Here is Libby just 6 weeks after Christmas and her hair is much longer! Sorry that the pictures of her pigtails aren't that great, but it's pretty hard to get her to keep her head still long enough to get a good picture. But now that we can download pictures from our camera (we only had 8 more pictures available on there!), I'll try harder to get a good pic!





So there are some pics to make up for the lack of pictures lately... thanks for being so patient!
