Much to all of our delight, snow fell on December 21.
We had one very excited girl here, sitting by the window and watching ...
asking how deep the snow has to be to build a snowman.
And the girl from Indonesia built her snowman.
A week later we headed to Manning Provincial Park to try some snow shoeing.
Last year's Christmas gifts, still new.
One cannot help but feel awestruck
by the beautiful trails meandering underneath tall, snow laden evergreens.
My feet and hands kept warm with disposable heat packs,
and that made me very happy.
Snow shoeing is actually very easy. You just walk like a duck.
We loved all of it ... snow flakes softly falling, walking, hiking, sliding and a picnic in the snow.
It is so much fun to be the ones to see Tehya's joy in these new experiences.
Time and again, she mentions how much she loves the different seasons here.
Of course, unbeknownst to her,
in my mind's eye I still see the little girl in my arms
18 years ago ... holding on to that moment then,
but holding on now with the knowledge that seasons of life are beautiful as well!

What a wonderful outing and great spot to break in those snowshoes! Love that looking back photo! So sweet! We got close to 6 inches today. Yikes!
Snow is so beautiful and I always long for one or two good snowfalls each year. The one we had shortly before Christmas here was not a nice one, so I'm not counting that! What fun to go snowshoeing with Tehya.
Happy New Year!
Hold on to all the memories then and now as tight as you can! What a beautiful place to snowshoe. "Walk like a duck" hmmm I think I could maybe do that? There aren't any snowshoes in stock anywhere around here these days - maybe next year. Happy New Year!
Absolutely beautiful! How special that you can share this time with her.
Such beautiful snow pic’s and so special to share your snow adventures with Tehya! Love the flashback photo!
