Christmas Travels

Hard to believe I was frolicking in snowy Winnipeg and Oakville (!) only a few days ago.  Back in Tel Aviv it is sunny and pretty warm - warm enough to consider spending time on the beach if not swimming :)
I am so thankful that we were able to spend time with our whole family back in Canada and we even got some snow at the tail end in Oakville - quite a change from last year!

This is on the drive down to Mitchell (near Steinbach), Manitoba.  It was so wonderful to catch up with good friends who have recently moved there from Oakville.  We even went sledding!

In Mitchell, Manitoba they build wooden slides to sled down since the hills are little- they give you great momentum :)

Eliana is so adorable and sweet natured - she didn't even cry when I held her ;)

 It took quite a few tries to get us all (almost) looking.  Zach had a great time sword fighting with these boys while Elena and I caught up :)

Back to Oakville, celebrating Zach's birthday.  I tried to get him to give a proper "blowing out the candles" face - this is close :)

Fourth round of the "bowl game" - charades under a sheet.  This is guaranteed fun family time.  There may be videos - so just wait until your wedding Michael....

 In Hamilton

We finally managed to get all six of us together!  What a great day :)

One of the many rounds of ticket to ride...

From Winnipeg to Toronto...how appropriate ;)
