Santa's Visit

Last Monday Zada and I made our furthest adventure yet! We went to see Santa, not at the North Pole but at the St. Laurent Centre. She wan't too sure about the Jolly guy but eventually sat on his lap and told him exactly what she want. Dolls. Babies. Once she sat on his lap she was DONE - no good byes or thank yous! We did a little more shopping and walked by our new friend Santa and Zada jumped out of her stroller and yelled - HIIII SANTA!! (they go way back now).

Friday - Friday was one of the craziest days for me...it snowed between 6-8 inches of snow! we went out for a fast errand and there were busses stuck EVERYWHERE! The side streets were nuts - they only clear main streets first. Once those are all cleared THEN they do side streets. It was hard to really tell how deep the snow was in the city - until you went to the suburbs.. you could tell! The snow came up to Zada's knees and towards the middle of my shin!!! Sunday night I got to see them removing the snow from the sides of the street. They have this CAT that has a "snow sucker thingy" and it blows the snow into a dump truck next to it and they drive along where the snow is piled... it's pretty neat to watch!
