Painting hat

 Today was our first sledding day of the season. It was sunny and bright, and warm but not so warm that the snow was melting (just below freezing). It was perfect sledding weather. 

 

Later in the afternoon we had hot chocolate with little pink minty marshmallows (Dandies brand, I highly recommend), and it was deliciously wintery and festive. 

And I have to share this picture of Linden. She insisted that she needed to wear this cat-eared toque to paint, because it was her “painting hat.” ❤️

Christmas begins

 

The tree is up. We have started our Christmas countdown. We are definitely not ready yet, but Christmas is coming!

Vaccinated

 Maren got first shot yesterday:

We are happy :-) We will be even happier when she gets her second shot and when Linden can get vaccinated too. 

This has been a weekend playing, starting to think about Christmas, and celebrating American Thanksgiving. 

Linden has also been sick. Yesterday and this morning she even had a fever. Two negative Covid tests, but still a sick toddler and that is no fun. She seems like she is much better this afternoon and evening though!

Hugs ❤️

 

Nope.

 The other day I asked Linden to get dressed and this was her response:

Also, I took some photos of our pumpkins after Halloween:

The one on the left Maren carved all by herself!
