mandarin orange pieces dipped in mustard.

cuteness captured.

Amelia loves to have flowers in her room. She had sweet talked me out of one from my bouquet. I found her in her room playing with her friends (Bear Bear and Miss Flower) {It will be a sad day when she no longer drags these 'friends' around constantly} I love her choice with her vase!

My Mom came down this past week end. Amelia and her had a little bonding/knitting session.

big brother of the year award

Yesterday I heard Amelia ask Aiden to 'dance like a princess with me?' And he did. Major brownie points with the parents.

snowboarding 101

Dale took Aiden to Baker on Saturday for the first time. This was Aiden's first time snowboarding and he 'mastered the rope tow!' Looking so forward to the next few years when we can start going as a family. I think I will be the lone skier. I can't imagine snowboarding myself but we'll see.
