Could they be cuter??

The other day I looked out the window and saw these sweet little ptarmigans sitting on the dock below. When I looked a little closer there ended up being 8 in total. They were very hard to spot...I guess that's why they are white in the winter!
Here is a photo of the cutest bird of the north!

High Tech Santa

On Saturday we were invited to a client Christmas party for a local Yellowknife helicopter company. It was held at Aurora Village which is a really cool place just out of town. It has a tube slide, heated "tents" for aurora borealis viewing, and dog sled rides. Needless to say it was VERY cold here Saturday (we're talking high of -28) so we did a few rides on the tube, had some hot chocolate but then went into the lodge. The kids had a great time! The real highlight was the arrival of Santa by helicopter! I'm sure Anna will be talking about this for awhile!!

Halloween in Ontario

We travelled home to ONT for Halloween and the first two weeks of November. Tim spent the time working ALOT while the rest of us had great visits with family and friends. We did Halloween in Ingersoll. The kids were thrilled to be trick or treating somewhere where there wasn't snow!
Anna made a very cute and happy Winnie the Pooh!

Jamie on the other hand was not overly impressed with this outfit. They were such a cute pair however someday he may hate me for these photos!
