A pathetic attempt to snow...

I arose this morning to a chilly -14 and light snow, much to my delight. It's been snowing on and off all day today but it's a very light pathetic attempt of snow. It wont last long at all because the weather is suppose to get to +5 by Monday. Apparently there's snow coming next week but we'll just have to wait and see.

On Boxing Day the whole family is flying over to Toronto, Ontario to spend 6 days with Jeremy's mom's side of the family. I cant wait because last night they were expecting 30cms of snow overnight so there will hopefully be heaps of snow there still. We also have a few trips planned to downtown Toronto as well as Niagara Falls which I'm really looking forward to.

It's Nate's 21st birthday tomorrow so tonight we're having a family dinner along with Sheena and a couple of Nate's friends. I've been talking up his birthday telling Nate that we need to have a huge 21st party Australian style but for some unknown reason he's not so keen! 21st birthdays are just like any other here, not big at all.

Sunday we're planning a trip to Banff with Jer's mom and dad which will be great. There's an amazing candy shop at Banff so we cant wait to visit. We'll also be making a stop at the hot springs while we're there, so we'll be sure to post lots of photos when we get back.

Our family here is into board games big time. Actually, most families in here are and I reckon it has something to do with the rediculious cold weather out. Today we played Power Barons some game I'd never played before but I might add that I happened to WIN the game! There's a real competitive spirit in this household when it comes to playing board games so nobody appreciates losing at all! You know me, I like to stir things up a little so it makes it even better when I talk about my win for the next hour or so! hehe...

Anyways I'm off to watch the battle of the brothers in foosball. Hope it's not too hot back home!

Love Meg
