First Christmas!

My first blog post and my first Christmas with Margot! It was quite relaxed and cozy. Margot got comfy pants, a hat, boots, and socks: everything a 7-month old baby would ever want! Of course she is too young to understand Christmas or gifts yet. Although from this photo I get the sneaking suspicion that she knows that the hat may come back to haunt her. 

Jen and I gave each other snowshoes (very 30-something of us!) plus other goodies. We then took the little tubby princess on a hike in Gatineau Park. Sometimes I forget how lucky we are to live next to almost-true wilderness as it was quite peaceful and beautiful.  However, I’m not sure I get the snow-shoe-ing thing yet - we weren’t exactly "gliding" down the slopes. Whatever! It was still great fun and a perfect excuse to have hot chocolate when we came home. 

That's it for my first post. Merry Christmas!
