Highlites!

Some of highlites of this past week....Dad celebrated his 59th birthday! Yes, those are his 7 grandkids and I am pretty sure there will be more to come. So thankful for him. Wish he could slow down and not work so hard, pop in for coffee more (hint hint). My kids love being with him and they are working on not screaming when he arrives! Thank you Papa for your love you interest in each of us!!

Faith had her first ever ballet recital. She has waited patiently to take ballet. At Jess' recitals Faith would go dressed up like a ballerina. She headed out the door all dressed up in a fancy red hand-me-down coat. She did fanastic. I was worried she might panic and not go out on the stage. There were 6 littles girls in her class and they danced to a song about friends! Well done our lil' ballerina!

It is so cold we got snow (-5 is cold for BCers plus a nasty wind)...just a skif but we will take it. The kids were thrilled!! Even this morning before before 8 they went out, with pj's under their jackets. Jess brought in a sand pail of snow to show us and then made a snow castle on the deck!! Now if the wind would just settle down. It is definetly starting to feel like Christmas.

I made vereniki tonite!!! Like perogies but not. Not bad for someone who claims not to be mennonite even with a name like Penner. Even made the sauce and added bacon..yes my jeans are feeling a little snug.

Looking forward to a week of some baking, little shopping and finish up our school work before we break for abit!
