A Snowy Sunday

 Such a nice smooth blanket of snow! This was our second good dump of snow in a week or so, I know it doesn't look deep from here, but when we went for a walk in the afternoon it was thigh to waist deep. 

Not much left of the fence! 😅

I so love the snow on all the trees! It took quite a bit of effort to make a new path as all that was left of our trail was a little half foot indent. Thankfully the snow was not as deep in the forested area as in our open back yard, so the going was a little easier. 

We have gotten into the nice habit of hanging out in a little clearing at the back of the property for a bit as it ends up being the middle of our walk, Hazel loves to come out and attempt to make and throw snowballs and Jared keeps Nova running through all the trees with whatever snow or snowballs he can make up. 

Looked up at the sky to see it was beautifully framed by snowy evergreens. 💜

Hazel wasn't ready to go inside by the time we got back, so we hung out and played on the driveway for a bit so she could actually walk around in snow. 

Hazel loves snow! Especially when it's not too cold and windy. For perspective we were somewhere around -9 today.

According to Jared snow makes a great lawn chair!

Spent the evening cutting, gluing and recutting out the letters that the kids had all colored for the banner of our Easter Concert theme. Really enjoyed having a simple project to keep me busy and trying to think of other simple projects like this that I could do.

Moving Day Anniversary

 It has been two years already! Feels like forever and just the other day all at once, but I can say that we are feeling very settled in Prince George, at our church, firehall and workplace communities, and of course at home too.

I must say it's quite satisfying to see just how many changes we were able to make in two years!

Family Time and Tea Time

Though there are not any pictures to prove it we got a very nice family morning in on Saturday! With Jared's new job, schedule and energy level we are slowly find new routines. The last few Saturdays Jared spend a lot of time cleaning his work shop and organizing/setting up his tools (It has been really neat to see him have time, energy and motivation to work in his shop). 

This particular Saturday morning the house was still a mess, so Jared took Hazel outside to play for a bit while I very quickly blitzed the house.  

I happened to look out the back window just in time to see Hazel running around in the snow. This was really quite cute and funny as the snow had melted and hardened, but there was a fresh layer on top. Hazel was light enough to run on top, while Jared still was walking though snow up to the top of his boots. Jared was able to get a little video of it to share!

Once I was done my quick clean, outside was calling my name too. Jared already had Hazel in the backpack carrier so we went for a tromp through our woods which looked especially beautiful with the fresh snow!

 Afterwards we had a quick drink on the deck and enjoyed the beauty of the day!

A Galentine's tea party was scheduled for the afternoon, hosted by M and J, it was so fun to get all dressed up extra fancy for an event again! I was able to make my own fascinator for the event, which was neat to try too.

Group Picture!

And some pictures of the fancy food before we ate it 😋

It was so fun to get together with all the ladies for a fun event! It was so well loved that I believe there will be another ladies dress up event in the makings soon!
