Elianna enjoying the snowy hills of Vernon BC.

She kept tipping over, so Daddy had to pull us both.

Ellie watching Duma, Papa and Grandma's dog. Ellie starting saying "PUH" and growling everytime she saw a puppy.

First Christmas Photo

Merry Christmas Everyone, from the Balfours!

We'll keep posting when we get back from Vernon, BC on the 30th.

Hope you all have a wonderful holiday!

Good Morning, Sunshine!

Now THAT is what I call BEDHEAD! (i didn't tease it. trust me)

Elianna and Regan, piano duet partners extraordinaire!

(Surprisingly, they both have their own soothers in their mouths in this photo, a rare happening. Usually they steal each other's. I guess the soother's always suckier in the other kid's mouth, or something.)

There's a REASON why we tied our christmas ornaments on a string this year! :)

I love the Christmas season. The twinkly lights, the family gatherings, the crinkly wrapping paper...

...but I HATE this HAT!!

Rub a dub dub, two cousins lovin' the tub!

Well folks, reality has finally sunk in. Today feels like negative 29 degrees with the windchill and for the first time ever, I think the weather just might keep me and Ellie inside. I guess we really did move to Manitoba after all. Darn.

Elianna's opinion of tomatoes.

Look Grandpa Rick and Grandma Sue - I'm walking!
