This weekend, we got to see the Olympic Torch…it was really neat. It came only about 2 minutes from our house. Our kids thought it was "cool"!

My family took a drive around checking out the size of people’s snow banks and took some pictures…here’s a few of my favourites I just had to share:

My kids in front of our front yard (blinded by the sun….lol).

A car that hit the side of a snow bank and couldn’t get out. My dh got out to help…what a hero!  

I thought this was funny…the car (not ours) is buried in his laneway! I’m guessing it’s not his main car…at least I hope it’s not.

What a true Canadian (or Ottawa) Winter! I hope this weather gave you a chance to do some Scrapbooking and Rubber Stamping!!!! HOpe you’re having a fabulous and warm winter day! Josee
