J'aime le traineau - I love sleds!

We're up in Quebec, listening to the snow and eating poutine chez Ashton.

We flew to Montreal to stay with friends and arrived for a wonderful dinner party, then N's parents picked us up for the drive to Quebec City. We completely missed the storm that hit the East Coast of the US, as you can see, the weather has been great up here, if a little cold!

la neige!

Finally, the firefighter

Alec got home yesterday from a busy day at school, and decided that he was finally ready to be a firefighter. It was his Halloween costume, but he was vehemently opposed to dressing up on October 31st.

Even better, once his fire hat and boots were on, he wanted to go out the door, "to work".

Au travail!

Alec and the ladies

So we had our annual family photo shoot on Thanksgiving, which resulted in lots of silly pictures, like these:

but going over recent photos focusing on Alec, the theme that stood out is his girl friends. Friends who are girls, that is. We've been enjoying getting together with friends the past few weekends for burrito lunches,

excursions down to the 'burbs,

and another trip to Rossotti's. With a beer,

And Miss E.
