Quebecois food night

 Charlotte and Shanna came over and had lunch with us and then I got to watch Charlotte for a while.  She loves the animal crackers.




 Elena and I made some Quebecois favorites. For dinner we made Pate Chinois (Chinese pie or shepherd pie) and home made ketchup (d'ela maison)? We also made maple leaf cookies with maple cream frosting for the middle. They turned out pretty good.
Elena and Charlotte and I did some errands together before Elena had to go to work.

SNOW

 It has been quite a snowy week here.  We got so much snow that school was cancelled one day.  Saturday we went up to Strawberry Reservoir and went snowmobiling and a little sledding.   Shanna, Christian, Dad and Elena went riding around on the snowmobiles for a while and Charlotte and I sat in the car.  The weather kind of wasn't that great so when they came back we pulled Charlotte around on the sled for a bit and the temp dropped pretty quickly so we packed up and went home.  


We had a great trip to the temple to do Baptisms with James.  It was really amazing to have Dad do all of the baptisms.  
 Elena and I found Charlotte some hot pink moccasin slippers.
 Shannas internet wasn't working so she came to work on homework at our house for the day.  We watched Charlotte and she took the best nap she has ever taken at our house.  We put her crib in my closet and so it was pretty sound proof and light proof.  She slept for 3 hours.

Bienvenue a la maison Elena! (Welcome Home Elena)




 Finally Elena is home! We are so excited that Elena completed her mission to the Canada Montreal Mission!

 Jacob actually made an appearance at the airport.  He left really quick so we didn't get him in the family picture.
 Jacob is so cute playing with Charlotte on the floor.
 Charlotte and me at James Basketball game.
 James had fun playing basketball.

 Elena got to watch James basketball game.


I made a lemon meringue pie to celebrate grandma Lucy's birthday on January 31st.
