Hello all you cold people! I hope everyone is well. How is the weather? Here it hasn't gone below+30 since before mom and Betts and Zach were here - the poor things melted! Anyway, I have still not learned how to post photos on Blog, so if any of you would like to see photos of the trip (and of my non-university life after christmas) then sign up with www.ringo.com - it's free and SO easy to post photos - so maybe I can get some from all of you as well!
Take care everyone, love you all heaps,
Love

Of course these two had to get stuck but luckily they were able to pull one another out.

After we got our tree Carly took the skidoo and Bert drove the 4 wheeler to the shack at the pond at Johnny's. It was a beautiful crisp winter day...perfect for Christmas tree cutting.

Carly did some snowshowing the day we got our Christmas tree at our farm.

Aukje played us a little tune on the piano during our visit.

Bert resting on Sunday afternoon at Aukje and Pierre's place. Aukje and him were quite a pair on the Saturday evening!!

Wyatt and Jericho dropped in at Bert and Marianne's on Halloween.

Marianne, Anne Marie and Isabel having a chat.

Bert, Donna and Marianne at Tavis and Amy's wedding reception.

Gabrielle, Marie-Claire, Tegan and Zak pose for a group photo.

This picture was taken shortly after the ceremony.

Bert decided not to wear his "bee outfit" and within a very short period of time a bee stung him below his eye. That will teach him to wear his protective clothing.

Mike and Sonja dancing at the reception.

The photographer left the girls while taking the photos of the guys and Bert thought they should look like they were fishing.

A great shot of the bride and her family. The pictures were taken in the woods behind Jason and Anne Marie's place.

The photographer set up this shot of the guys running to meet the girls and I managed to get a picture of it as well.

Mike's friends had polished their trucks and provided a unique "honour guard".

Age and Mary giving the bride and groom the traditional carriage ride after the ceremony.

Wyatt and Jericho having a little rest under the tree in front of the church. Jericho did a great job as the ring bearer for Sonja and Mike.

Back in Vancouver

Hello,

San Francisco was great, the conference went well. Too bad you couldn't come Donna! I saw the Sea Lions and the bridge but I never did get to ride the trolley because when I had the time the line was HUGE!! I also was treated to a pretty swank dinner at an oyster bar and tried raw oysters for the first time. So now I'm back in Vancouver and back at work. I like the picture of putting up the tent.
TTYL,
Carly
