Santa!!

I have been busy visiting with family in Toronto, so I haven't had the time to update with my monthly posts (not to worry, I have the pictures all stored up and ready to go) but I couldn't resist sharing Z's first photos with Santa.
The first time we went, I dressed her all up, and hoped for the best.  I wanted one of her award winning smiles.
No such luck.  She just looked stunned.

The second time, she was less than pleased... but I still think this pic. is a winner (bad mommy!)

Remembering Summer times!

Well, December is upon us! So I got thinking of summer.
There was this HUGE patch of blackberries along the side of the highway this summer, and Z and I spent many hours picking, snacking and baking...

 Some other fond memories....
