O Canada!

We made it to Canada safely! We are spending Christmas this year in Vancouver, BC with Chris' Mom and her family. It is great to see some siblings and grandparents and so many family members we haven't seen in awhile. We even have a nephew we've never seen! So, we are excited to be here despite the cold.

The most lively time in the house is bath time- which seems to last longer and longer every night. Partly due to the luxurious tub bath time is in. and we never seem to get them in their jammies right after the bath for some reason. Something about running around free as a bird with Uncew Cwis chasing you through the basement seems to be just the thrilling crowning glory to the bedtime regiment you need when you are 4 and almost 2.

So far Cally has acclimated to the house, the weather, and really taken to Papa Frank. We've already had one huge adventure with her today as she followed the pizza delivery man outside and go on an exploration of the mountain. She finally decided to come home to the back door much to her mother's relief.

Part of the reason I was so worried about Cally was because it actually snowed today! I was promised it didn't snow in Vancouver. I am now reminded the quote was added the caveat of "often" or "much". Chris and I keep remembering why we moved to Florida and how much we DO NOT miss snow, or driving in it!
