I'm sitting here in the warm and quiet of my parents home, while outside the snow is falling and numbing cold wind is blowing. Oh how I love Canadian winters, there's nothing like it. I love watching the snow fall, while drinking a nice warm cup of hot coco, it's so very relaxing! Tomorrow I do hope I can get K outside to enjoy some of this newly fallen snow as I'm afraid this may be her only chance this winter to enjoy it. Back home in Eastern PA the next few days are suppose to be oddly warm, 50's/high 40's with rain.........ahhh whats up with that! It's winter and even once we've gone our nine+hours south.....I know I'm going to want more Canadian winter! 
So how has your 2012 been so far? We enjoyed ringing in the New Year with my family here in Canada and have been enjoying a nice, relaxing, fun filled first few days of 2012 with them too. Pretty soon it will be time for goodbyes but I don't want to think about that right now.
The last few days K has been showing off her singing skills and has been talking up a storm with almost everyone here. She has also really enjoyed having her cousins just a flight of stairs away. Every morning she runs to the bottom of the stairs and wants to head up to my Aunt and Uncles part of the house to play. To be honest I've enjoyed having all these extra loving hands to help and play with Kaylin. It`s been a nice little break.....I`m even able to shower by myself without having to worry about her.
Games games and more games!! We've also enjoyed the first few days of 2012 playing games. Probably more games then we've ever played before. New Years day I got to play quite a few rounds of "Dutch Blitz" which is always more fun with a crowd. I think at one point there was eight of us playing this game at once....all I can say is wow!! I also enjoyed a few rounds of "Skip-Bo" & "Old Maid" with my cousin Em and her friend. We played till the wee hours of the morning.
My hubby so far has played two games of "Settlers", each game lasting just over two hours each. My cousin Q and him have also been working on creating a Canadian version of the game "Settlers", they are coming up with their own board, rules ect...My hubby is in heaven!!

Looks like you guys had such a wonderful time with your family. I bet so hard to leave huh. Yes, the weather has been oddly warm here in NC too! I am loving it though because where I hail from in CA is SO warm all year long that I feel almost like I'm home and that was kinda special for me. I do hope we get at least one snow so D can play in it for the first time! I hope you are doing well friend!
