Lots of firsts!

Lots of 'firsts' are happening around here!  We have had a great fall and early winter doing some things that may seem reasonably normal to us, but are bona fide first-time experiences for Fanfan and Ying. 

We took in a pumpkin patch hay ride and chose some cool Halloween pumpkins.

.








We went to our friend's Terry and Theresa for a chilly marshmallow roast.


Fanfan was invited to our great-niece's birthday party in Toronto (they made slime!), and here she is decorating her container. With an extra seat available, Parker does the same (he made his slime in Waterloo colours!).



Parker had a significant first this fall - he voted in the municipal election!


Fall leaves were a big hit with Fanfan, with her and Wendy taking part in a leaf jump! 


Soon after, we got a small amount of snow. Fanfan and Ying got to shovel it and make their very first snowman!


 Somehow Fanfan already knew how to make a snow angel...


Getting closer to Christmas, decorating a house with icing and candy was a new experience.


Tracking Santa down on the street and having a chat was definitely a first. She was even able to ask for a gift, in English.


A horse-drawn carriage ride through town was also an interesting activity, although the purpose may not have been very clear for her.


 Making cookies for the first time was delicious!
