We went to Lethbridge at the end of January for a hockey tournament (what else?) with the entire family - yep, all six of us on a road trip and in the same hotel room. I'm sure your first reaction is one of pity. Why the heck would we do that to ourselves? Well, it turned out really great. We had a lot of fun and the boys lost, tied, won and lost their games. They were pretty competitive - no blowouts - so it was fun. My voice was hoarse by Sunday. We discovered that Sam has developed a love for the Zamboni and he rings our bell when it's on the ice. We'll have to work on timing for him and the bell.
February brought Valentine's Day and Family Day. Valentine's Day was pretty low key. I don't need love once a year but every day - don't we all? Paul and I might go out this week but I wouldn't hold your breath. Family Day was much more fun. Here are the pics to prove it:
We went to the annual Family Day breakfast at the civic center. It costs about $5 for everyone over 12 but you get a ton of food and free entertainment - it's a good start for our Family Day. Sarah always gets her face painted and a balloon. Traditions are good :)
After the breakfast we came home for lunch and then started playing in the snow. Our little angel by the angel she made...
Work begins on the snow fort... (yes, that's me helping out - someone had to take these pictures!)
Michael starting on his entrance...
Michael and Sarah met on the inside...
The view from inside....
Cute as a button :)
This is what happens when you try to wash the face paint off with out the help of a face cloth or soap. Very scary.... :)That's it for now.
