Back to the Snowy North

I was feeling over due for a blog post.

It's really cold out there!
We have so much snow it's almost to the tops of the trees...
just kidding...


There is however frost on the outside & inside of the window.

A little sunshine pops through between snowfalls.

This is before the wind chill, which is definitely present today!

I didn't take many pictures over the holiday season,
but here are the Christmas Eve shots from when my nephews came over.
It was my first Christmas with them & I was pretty excited!

The troops arrive!

Kane shows Papa the picture he painted for him.

Dinner time:)

The group photo (minus Aaron who is taking the picture).

Present time...

Auntie playing with my awesome nephews:D

I loved every minute of it!

Sledding

Winter is in full force here in Tsay Keh Dene!

Looking at the back of our house.

Kids riding skidoos pulling other kids is a regular sight around here.

Today we decided to give sledding another chance. I find you spend more time digging the stupid thing out of the snow than riding but today we didn't get stuck.
Other than nearly flipping it it went pretty smoothly.

Our Christmas tree.

Yes that temperature is correct!

Glad I'm inside toasty warm:)

All from the kitchen window

Well if you know me at all you know I am not a fan of being cold or the entire season of winter for that matter. As a result I haven't left the house unless necessary & that means only to go to work. I have been getting some nice surprises though, all from the comfort of my house. It's amazing what you see from the kitchen window...

For 3 days I would look out the window and see this cute little bird feeding away on seed.

This morning I opening the blinds to a pleasant surprise...
The pictures truly don't do it justice & I must say this was 1 of the best sunrises I have seen since I have been up here.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

Since I changed my blog to the winter format, I decided a more wintery post was needed.

This morning I looked out the kitchen window and what did I see?




This one was camera shy...


Koloa watching the horses as they head to the side of the yard.



I decided I should go to the backyard and play, taking a few shots with my new camera.

Meanwhile inside...

Ilo & Koloa were cuddled up warm.

And there still much more snow to come...
