My Canadian Winter Baby

If you're going to live anywhere in Canada - especially anywhere east of Vancouver - you might as well learn to love the winter. For those of us in Alberta, the last eight winters have taught me the cold sets in around November and stays until least April. So this means for half the year we need to keep warm and entertain ourselves with what this lovely land has to offer.
For Brandon this entails taking 10- 15 minutes to get suited up in order to enjoy the weather outdoors. And love it he does! So far Brandon thinks the snow is great. He likes to do belly flops in the snow, catch snowflakes on his tongue and help Daddy shovel the back deck. He has great enthusiasm for all these things and has quickly learned to say "it's snowing!".
This year we hope to take him sledding (we know already he's going to love it) and maybe even on a horse-drawn sleigh ride. We've already taken him to Zoolights at the Calgary Zoo and that was a huge hit. Next year, when he's a bit bigger, we'll try him on skates and skis. In the meantime here's some pics of our little man enjoying the winter :)
