Celebrating
It took us a while to get our schedules together to celebrate with Sue for her 40th birthday that took place on January 1st! We were finally able to have a tea party at Helen's place . . .

Curling action
Today at curling, the kids played a "game". Here is Holly holding her broom out for the thrower to aim at, and then some major action in the house!

Snow Day at Whistler
Holly and I went to the playground at Whistler Village - it was covered in snow, but she didn't want to play on the structures, just run up and down this pile of snow! I think she amused herself for over half an hour here.

Whistler
We're up at our Whistler townhouse with our friends from California, Jim and Kris. Holly is super excited to be up here - especially since she's missing a couple of days of school!!!

Train Day Update
BURNABY HOSPITAL FOUNDATION wins!!!
Burnaby Hospital Foundation raised $1,108 on its November challenge day, just edging out the Adoptive Families Association of B.C., which raised $1,045 on its December challenge day. That group will receive $7,520, the total raised by the train during that month.
Longland said the hospital foundation did have a unique marketing technique. Volunteers dressed like doctors and nurses walked around the mall explaining to people why they were dressed that way to raise awareness and encourage donations.
The foundation raises money for innovative healthcare equipment, technology, capital projects and educational outreach. The Metropolis donation will help purchase two surgical telescopes often used in minimally-invasive surgical procedures that lead to faster recovery times.
The Adoptive Families Association of B.C. engaged shoppers with facepainting, while Stream of Dreams had people paint fish, which were attached to the train itself, turning it into “a giant salmon run,” Longland said. That group raised $349 on its October day, and will receive $6,315 in total.
Progressive Housing Society kicked off the competition in September, collecting donations of socks for its homeless clients and raising $512 on its day. It will receive a total of $6,271.
