Just a little snow?

Then make little snowmen! Aren't these the cutest? I know they won't work in Canada will all the piles of snow you guys have but they may work in France?!

I found them on Jordan's blog called Oh Happy Day.

Kindle is my new middle name.







Good morning everyone and thanks again for all the lovely comments about our PACS! You guys are the best!
Happy Friday! What are you going to be doing this weekend? Vince is playing in his first rugby game on Saturday so that should be fun. I can't wait to watch him run around the field in those short little rugby shorts. That's whats it's all about for me! HA!
Anyways I have been meaning to tell you about my Amazon Kindle that I got for Christmas. I'll be honest when I opened it for the first time I didn't really know what it was. It looked like a big calculator for Grandmas who didn't want to admit they needed their glasses just yet. But once I figured it out, wozers there was no stopping me. I have so many books uploaded and just waiting there patienlty for me to read them. (it's so exciting) Currently I am reading the memoir of American Poet Mary Karr. It's so dark and hilarious at the same time. I just can't seem to put it down. The Kindle is my friend because he sits flat. I love that I never tire out my thumbs by holding all the pages down. He also has beautiful perfect size text for me to read and plays little slide shows of authors and pretty pictures whenever I take a reading break. I just love the technology of how it looks. The text is like real text you know what I mean? Man I'm bad a techy words. Well anyways the screen doesn't make your eyes tired or bloodshot. It is designed to look like ink on a page. It's a flat look...hmmmm is that a bettter explanation? Maybe I didn't write about my new Kindle love affair cause I wasn't really sure how to explain it!
Well there you have it, why I love my Kindle. And if any of you are thinking of traveling a lot in the near future and can't lug all those heavy books with you in your suitcases then I suggest you get a Kindle too and then we can gush together.
Happy Reading in whatever way you do it.
Love and Hugs

Hockey night at the Ricoh Center

Good Morning Every body! I was looking through my Christmas pictures (there are so many!) and found this special one.
Last month we went to the Ricoh center in downtown T.O. to see Ryan and Blake play in there beer league. Aunt Ann, Uncle Gav, Karly and Harrison came too. I think we were the only fans HA! no big deal, it was so much fun seeing Ryan on the ice again and especially playing with Blake! What a treat! Oh I miss you guys!

Christmas Dinner at the Dodges
















Goodmorning everybody! Last night we had Christmas at Mom and Dad's. Ryan and Britt left this morning for Florida :( to celebrate Christmas with her family so we wanted to do Christmas a little early. Grandpa drove in and Blake came over for dinner too. We opened presents and I got a Kindle! It's so cool...it's a computerized reader...I can download books to it which will make travelling so much lighter. Vince and his parents also got me a beautiful pair of pearl earrings that I love so much! After that we sat down to a traditional turkey dinner and Vince opened his very first cracker. Pretty cute! Then we played one of the new board games he got for Christmas and went to bed. We were still pretty worn out from the all day engagement fiesta from the day before!
