Valentine's Day


I am finally getting around to posting some photos of Valentine's Day.  The kids got their treats in the morning (hence the bed head) as Mike and I actually had tickets to a show that evening.  When we returned from the show, Maya had made us a very large Valentine's Day card.


 Glow in the dark pens, and some chocolate hearts, yum!
 I love Hello Kitty!

More Skiing

 
Our main activity this winter has been skiing.  As I mentioned in my last post, we started Maya skiing this year.  She was so cute on the magic carpet.  About a month ago, even before she could turn, the instructor got her up the chair lift and down a blue hill.  I thought that was a bit of a leap and Maya was shellshocked the first few times.  But now she is turning and making it down the hill and seems to really like skiing.
 
 
 
 Maya at the beginning, remember to put her hand on her knees
 For the first couple of lessons, the instructor used this pole to help them learn


Unfortunately, I don't have any photos of Aidan skiing but he improved immensely.  We took a short trip to Blue Mountain and Aidan could easily traverse the blue runs there, unlike Mom who kept to the easiest run from top :)

Here are a few snaps from our trip....

 Maya was more interested in the apres ski - hot tub anyone?! ( I especially like her ensemble here)
