Winter wonderland with Gramma and Grampa James

We spent the past weekend in Ottawa visiting Gramma and Grampa James, followed by Auntie Sue, Uncle Jeff, and cousin Anne.  Brace yourself: this post contains the first pictures from our shiny new high-quality camera.  Unfortunately, the battery ran out before we got to Sue and Jeff's (and we forgot the charger) but we got a lot of great pictures with Gramma and Grampa.  Enjoy!

We'll begin with some pics of Max:

Max playing with his new train set from Gramma Sandi.  He's a spitting image of his father.

Max enjoys lifting large hunks of ice.

He also enjoys standing on the hoods of cars.

Next, some semi-artsy shots of our family walking in a winter wonderland:

Next, a rare shot of Sandi tobogganing down a hill...

...followed by an even rarer shot of Sandi on her back in the snow.

And finally, your reward for reading this far: some highly pretentious, no holds barred, full-on artsy fartsy shots of the beautiful landscape we enjoyed on our walk at Gramma and Grampa James':
