Freezing cold Canada

Aubrey Rose and I were blessed by another trip to Canada. Yes, Aubrey is 10 months old and she has experienced Hawaii already, Canada twice and so many places in between. My grandfather passed away after living a wonderful life following Christ. So it was time for another sweet visit. Here are some of our memories as well as the beautiful scenery Canada in the snow has to offer....and by the way, I DO NOT need to go back any time soon to that weather. It was absolutely ridiculous!! It was beyond FREEZING!!!

Below is my mom's house that she grew up in. There were 7 kids in her family!! My parents shared their first kiss on this driveway as my dad was taking her home after their date.



This is my dad's house that he grew up in on Irvine Road. I have heard many, many wonderful stories from this house, this barn and this street. Thanks Dad for sharing!


Beautiful view at Niagara on the Lake!



Below is my dad's elementary school. So cute!! It is now a personal residence but I LOVE how the people have kept the sign on the outside that reads McNab Public School. I have heard awesome stories from this school as well!

Here is McNab Church which was just down the street from where my parents grew up. Beautiful church!




Here is my dad's side of the family. There were 6 siblings in the family and this is most of the family members from all six of them.


This is how bundled up poor Aubrey Rose had to get everytime we stepped foot outside. I thought she smiled for every picture until she was wearing this! She hated that thing!! For some reason no matter what I did, I just could not get a picture of her smiling in this bunting bag. Yeah, why do they call it a bunting bag anyway???!!!


Some of my cousins and Aubrey Rose

Chelsey (my cousin) and Aubrey Rose have such a special bond. I LOOOOOOVE seeing them together. Chelsey gets the giggles around her and Aubrey just loves to do just about anything with her.

Chelsey and I on the last day before she left for Fresno.

Until we see you cousins again!! We had a wonderful time together!

Oma with Aubrey Rose. This is my mom's mom. Oma loved to be with Aubrey. And Aubrey loved playing in Oma's apartment. She loved opening her cupboards, baking buns with her, pulling the phone cord and even eating her toys that Oma had for her. Thank you Oma for being so sweet not only to us, but to Aubrey Rose as well!
