Gratitude and happiness

Today I am grateful for being able to sleep in on weekends, wondeful in-laws, and iced cider.

Today was a pretty fantastic day! Ian and I slept in (could've slept until noon, but we had things to do) and watched a couple of TED videos before finally getting up for the day. After a delicious cup of coffee, in which I only indulge on the weekend, we cleaned the house in preparation for a visit from his folks. Janet and David arrrived shortly after noon and after a short visit we headed out for Winterlude. We took them to Jacques Cartier park and I remembered all of the reasons I love Winterlude. It was the snow slides and the maze, the French Canadian folk dancers and the Ice Hogs, "La Tire" on the snow and a Killaloe Sunrise BeaverTail.

After a full day at the park, we hit the SAQ (Quebec's version of the LCBO) for evening provisions, and headed home. We made a delicious meal of tacos and opened the bottle of Iced Cider that we bought earlier at the SAQ.

It was wonderful to see the in-laws, get out to Winterlude and prepare a fantastic meal. I know, tacos don't sound like the fanciest of meals, but I made my own spice recipe for the beef and made a delicious homemade guacamole as a taco topper. I love working in the kitchen.

A great day all around :)
