memories

when i was a kid my mom had silhouettes of me and my siblings. I loved them, but I'm not too good with scissors so I used photoshop:)

This was a thanksgiving of firsts for us. It was the kids and my first time up in carobou hills. we had fun even when i got the snow machine stuck going up hill:) the guys got me unstuck. Aidan rolled his eyes at me...

But diana has assured me that it could happen to anyone.
