Fun with Tatus
When your Uncle Derek and Shane and I were younger, we used to play "horsie". I was always the horse--they'd climb on my back and I'd take them for rides, and sometimes I'd be a bucking bronco and try to throw them off. They liked that one the best. :) I showed you and Tatus how to play that today, and I must say, Tatus makes a pretty good horsie. :)
Lily and lala get a ride:
Thank you, Tatus!

More tobogganing at Gran & Grampa's
Photos by Uncle Derek.
Tatus pulled you around and around the yard, like the little princess you are. :)
You had one face-plant into the snow, but just licked the snow off your face and we carried on. What a brave girl!

Christmas at Gran & Grampa's
On Boxing Day we drove out to Kelowna to spend 4 days at Gran & Grampa's with them and Uncle Derek and Uncle Shane.
Gran made a huge, delicious turkey dinner... and here you are with Uncle Derek, or BA! as you like to call him, at the Christmas tree before dinner:
And after dinner, here we are opening some presents. Uncle Derek took many more pictures, to be posted soon. :) Have I mentioned before what a talented photographer he is?
So, here's Grampa opening one of his gifts:
And here you are at almost 11 at night, swiping a chocolate cookie...
Here's Gran and Grampa opening your gift for them, a mosaic tile for their garden:
And here you are with Gran--and Hop on Pop, one of the many new books you got.

Christmas at Gran & Grampa's part 2
Photos by your Uncle Derek:
The dinner table, just before we sat down for the big feast.
Opening presents. Uncle Derek set up for the shot, then I dropped the bow on your head and he managed to take the photo before you yanked it of your head. We are sneaky. :)

You got a very fuzzy, very pink heart-shaped pillow, which you promptly kissed and hugged.
Mom got some new slippers--hooray!
So did Tatus!
Here's Gran opening a big present (we got her some nice red vases):
Another book! The Very Hungry Caterpillar.
Of course, you had to sit in my lap and have it read to you right away.
Tatus with a bow in his hair. Mmmm... smoked salmon!
Done with the cookie and feeling very cheerful:
Not quite sure what to do with your new (foam) bowling set:
Tatus checking out the new flashing ice cubes he got:
And which you promptly grabbed:
And looking SO cute in your little Scottie dog dress, might I add. :)

Uncle Derek teaches you all about computers
We went to Kelowna for the weekend, and you were very interested in Gran's MacBook. So Uncle Derek opened up a text file for you and let you type away. You opened a lot of windows while typing. Fortunately, the computer survived. :)

Shopping and a hike
This afternoon, while Tatus, Grampa and Uncle Derek went for a big hike over the hills behind Gran & Grampa's house, you, me and Gran went SHOPPING!
Gran bought you this very cool shopping cart (which you LOVE to push around). We actually had trouble getting you out of the store and back to the house because you didn't want to be parted from it for even a second.
Meanwhile, Tatus had my camera and he and Uncle Derek took some great photos while they were on their hike:

This weekend you also found a favourite spot to view the world from--on Uncle Derek's shoulders. You spent a LOT of time on his shoulders this weekend, at the video store, and just walking around the house, seeing things from 6 feet higher than usual.
