Fiona's birthday was way back in January, but I thought I should share some photos from that event. Our family celebrated her birthday by having cupcakes on her birthday and she opened up all of her family gifts. She got some awesome clothes, new colouring stuff and Hungry Hippos, which was BIG hit! She had her "friend" birthday party on the following Sunday.
She invited seven friends over for crafts and games and supper. We played balloon games, hot potato with a nail polish bottle (whoever got caught with the bottle got their toes painted) and then did a butterfly craft. With all those girls of ages 4-9, the key to success is keeping them occupied! Fiona ordered up Kraft Dinner and hot dogs for supper. We also added fresh vegies to the menu. She had a tonne of fun, got lots of crafty gifts and loved her butterfly cake.

Trip to Edmonton
We hopped on as service flight and went to Edmonton from 3-6 Jan. It was a great trip because we got to visit Jamie and Kevin and kids, my cousin and her little guy, and GO TO THE WEST EDMONTON MALL!!!! What a super trip. It was such a great family outing. The kids loved the wave pool. None of them drowned or even got close (ref: Uncle Chad at age 7) and they were not scared to go down the water slides...well, most of them. It was great to visit with Jennilee and Lucas as well as meet Zoe for the first time. Here are the photos:
Christmas 2011
Christmas 2011 was great. We went to the lake and the farm finally to my sister's place for one night before returning to Winnipeg. Highlights of 2011: skiing, skating, snow fort, red solo cup party, the bouncy castle place and of course, spending excellent time with family.
The kids went downhill skiing for the first time ever. They did great, especially the boys who were whizzing down the hill by the end of the day. It was hard to keep up to them. We also went skating on ex-NHLer, Pat Falloon's ice pad on Lake of the Prairie. At the farm, the kids and Clay built an awesome snow fort. They eventually put a roof on it and roasted marshmallows inside it. It was super cozy in the little castle. The last day, we went to Regina to visit my sister and family. The kids burnt off some energy by bouncing all afternoon at a bouncy castle place.
