happy new year!

well....i didn't do so well at keeping you updated while in winnipeg.....in all fairness i said i'd update once i took pictures, and i didn't really take that many pictures...oops! anyway, i'm back in BC and figured i'd better get an update done before life gets crazy busy again.

Christmas was really good - pretty mellow, spending time with the family. We went skating once and x-country skiing once, and of course played lots of ping pong.

I came back to BC for New Years, which ended up being the MOST mellow evening one can imagine...lol...but that's ok, i don't really care all that much about new years.

Tomorrow is my birthday and of course i will be stretching that celebration into as many days as possible!

Well, here are some pics from my time in Wpg...enjoy!

We begin with ping pong -- i must say, for not playing on a regular basis, i actually did quite well against the other members of my family, especially my dad and brother, who somehow manage to put fancy spins on the ball...though i think i have concluded that my ability to beat them both was mostly due to their errors, and not so much due to my amazing shots....here's an action shot of my mom and brother
Stockings stuffed full on christmas morning....the best part is that my brother and i have those giant ones on the end, and my parents have the much smaller version...lol
always time for a fun family photo....
And here we are again!
