Cozy night..

Last night we finally got some snow....quite a bit....We were waiting for it whole week! So it finally started snowing....we made hot chocolate, finished decorating our tree...(as it toppled over on Wednesday because we loaded it with ornaments on the front Only and all ornaments fell off!...and it fell on Gabriel and Sequoia...No one was Hurt! Ad it was a bit funny)....

And just sat there in the dark, with a candle and tree lights...and enjoying the coziness

Tree hunt!

Last weekend was a Tree Hunt weekend! Up until 2 years ago we would Buy our Christmas tree from a store close to our house...That was kinda boring...and you never knew what type of tree you were getting as they were all wrapped....so last year we decided to go for a hike and search for a perfect tree...

So we found one....

Or so we thought....

It seemed a perfect Size in the forest but once we brought it home....it was so HUGE....It was way taller than out 10ft ceiling....too wide...there was a Lot of tree in our living room lol..It looked like a tree from National Lampoons Christmas Vacation movie! 

So this time we were careful not to pick another Big tree...

We went up the hill past our house....found a little side road....parked there...and went to search....found it fairly quickly... and then just wondered around...enjoyed a gorgeous view...I snapped some pics(of course!)

Jeff also cut a little baby tree for sequoia...awww

After we got back, Sienna had a friend come over...So we all decorated the tree together...It was a fun weekend

Pinaus Lake search...

19 days until Christmas....an I'm still not feeling the holiday spirit...I'm slowly getting there....maybe this snow that's starting as I type will help...Some people have their decorations up...trees all decorated....shopping done...Ha! we haven't even started any of it...

I think this weekend we'll go get our tree...

Last year we went to one of the surrounding hills and cut our own...it was fun! So this time doing the same thing....I was 5mths pregnant back then so it was a bit tiring....but this time should be better! I'll just pack Sequoia in her Ergo baby and off we go!

Yesterday we went on a little adventure....after picking Sienna from school we went up the mountain behind Okanagan Reserve to look for Pinaus lake....It was quite the drive...Or maybe it just seemed long because it was a dirt, forestry road and we were going slow...Very nice area, forest with some nice big cedars...passed a herd of ponies on our way up....tried to Move a huge tree that had fallen on the road...didn't work so Jeff drove over it...We didnt quite make it to Pinaus lake...We found Little Pinaus lake....which was completely Frozen...yeah! It's full on winter up there! 

It was starting to get dark so we called off the Lake search (we were so Close to it tho, just over one hill....oh well, we'll go next time) and headed back home....we stopped to see the ponies ...Jeff just Drove the car into the field!! 

It was slightly intense when over 30 ponies hurried over toward us and surrounded the car! lol...I know, you dont often find word "intense" and "pony" in the same sentence but it was! 

They were very curious...not afraid at all...One of them was looking at Sequoia through  the window the whole time....She as scared at 1st and was crying but after awhile she was Ok and just stared back!

Sienna was in her element as she loves horses and ponies...

It was a neat ending to our adventure....Now we know where we can visit ponies!

GoodBye MO!!!

MOvember is Finally OVER!!! WoooooHooo!!! I am so HAPPY I have my Hawtie hubby back!! 

LIfe...

Still Here! I will Not neglect my blog ....Like I have in the past! It's been a bit of a crazy week....Our dog got hit by a car over a week ago.

Nudged his way out the door on a rainy night....he is completely black so no wonder driver didn't see him....Lady knocked on our door and said she hit a little black dog and if he was ours....he ran away right after and Jeff searched for him for hours...and couldn't find him....but he came back around 2am...I hear him bark and let him in....next day we took him to the Vet....so he was lucky....he hurt his paw....it's a nasty injury but it could have been much worse....so $800 later (so thankful to in laws for offering to pay for it) his paw is heeling and he will be OK...Stressful few days...At one point when we couldn't find him  we thought he was gone...But he is doing great!

Hmmm....what else??? Sequoia got another tooth! So that's 5 now...She loved her baby massage! I took het to massage college here for 4 Fridays...They needed babies to practice on...It was great, and I learned how to do it as well.

Oh and she started crawling!!....well, sort of....she drags herself across the floor on her belly... So it wont take long until she figures out what those knees are for!
