Happy Birthday Chloe!

My little monkey turns 1!
Happy Birthday Clover!

A pizza party!

The kid's table.

Cake time.

Chloe's getting a little help with the candle.

Time for presents.

Lucky girl!

1 year, 3 days!

Where's my sock...

Watching Daddy and Lucy in the snow.

If she could talk, she'd be begging to go out and play too!

A wave from Lucy who's stuck in the snow!

This is what happens when Chloe gets to feed herself.

A beautiful winter day in Winnipeg, frost on the trees and weather hovering around 0 degrees!I couldn't resist popping the girls on the toboggan and snapping some pictures after returning from grocery shopping.

Starting to get cold now...

In her birthday suit on her birthday eve!

Ready for bed...

Goofy kids!

While I was changing Chloe, Lucy found my lipstick and decided to give herself a muskash (moustache) because she wanted to look like a kitty. Unfortunately, it was a lipstain and it didn't come off entirely before preschool that afternoon!

Lucy's 1st Day of Preschool!
Guess it's time to put the plant back up on the table. Somebody else likes the taste of dirt...

Morning at Casa Bischoff

Fresh snow!

Doesn't look like much of a hill, but it made for some fun tobogganing!

You should've seen this speed demon crawling in the marshmallow suit!

Chloe loves the big red car - she can climb in all by herself.

She just doesn't like sharing with a pushy older sister who carjacks her.

Vancouver

When we arrived in Vancouver, we took the SkyTrain downtown.

We didn't actually need to go downtown. We just wanted to ride on the SkyTrain and SeaBus.

The kids thought it was great!

Downtown Vancouver from across the harbour at Lonsdale Quay.

Watching SeaBus return downtown.

Shopping for jumbo octopus at Lonsdale Quay.

Charlie got some too!

Tired after a long day.

Bedtime!

The next day, we went to Vancouver Aquarium.

The Jellyfish tank.
More Jellyfish.

Chloe was fascinated by the jellyfish.

Charlie waiting for the 4D show to start.

It was an awesome show about the ocean. There were bubbles floating down on us and we got sprayed by water, poked by sea urchins and bumped by a sea snake!

A Beluga Whale

The rain didn't bother them!

That's a lot of fish!

A Harbour Porpoise

She tried to spray us but we were already getting soaked by the rain!
