January Around Here

 Miko finally got his first hair cut!  And we all love it :)  Thank goodness...

 Although we don't get much snow here, the hoar frost can be beautiful in its own right.

 We got spoiled with some snow that actually stayed on the ground for a little while.  Of course we had to break out the snow pants!  I even wore mine too ;)

 Wagon rides in the snow are so much fun.

 The worlds tiniest snowman

 The slide is even faster when it is covered in fresh snow.

Bright Nights in Stanley Park

 We took Miko and my parents to Stanley Park for Miko's birthday. He was so excited to ride the train! There was a whole bunch of other festive activities and displays to enjoy that we weren't even expecting. 

 It rained a little bit, but be were prepared this time so it didn't deter us at all.

 It was so cloudy that we could barely see the Lions Gate Bridge. It was a completely different experience to be in Stanley Park during the off-season.

 

Buying tickets at the train station

 Here is the new covered waiting area, we were glad it gave us a bit of shelter from the rain.

 Eagerly anticipating the train ride!

 As soon as the train starts Miko always gets super serious, it so funny.

 Super serious face

 I tried to capture some of the beautiful displays but it was quite dark in the forest and we were moving of course :)

Choo-Choo!

And now here are the pictures taken with my phone...
