Winter Wonderland

The snow is now starting to slowly disappear, but we've had a very White Christmas! This is more snow than we've ever seen in Vancouver before, and in fact, it has felt a lot like the winters we remember from Montreal (minus the snow plows, winter tires, neighbours who shovel, etc).

Calla has had a blast in the snow, making snowmen, sledding around the neighbourhood, shoveling, and generally jumping and falling in the snowbanks.

The first of three snowmen, long since buried and replaced...
