Happy New Year!

2009!I, Mr Burns, and my little sister Miss Madeleine would like to wish everybody a very happy new year!
Yup, New Year's Eve was quite the happening affair. Everyone was partying like it was 1999.
Shortly after New Year's, Aunt Sarah came bearing gifts! Sheesh, Baby M's Christmas never ends.
YAAAAH!
In other news, the family went on a field trip to the brand spanking new Richmond Olympic Oval (how d'ja like them apples Burnaby?) for a little speed skating.
Although the building is not quite finished, it is incredibly impressive and really will be the Crown jewel of the 2010 games. Way back when, Mom and Dad signed a roof panel at City Hall, $1,000,000 to any blog reader that can find said panel!
Apparently young Lucas totally digs two things: Elmo and speed skating. So it came as no surprise that he and his parents came for the competition.
In addition to the national speed skating competition, the oval was also hosting the "best Christmas pink wool sweater contest". Presenting the co-gold medal winners: Madeleine and Prairie.
Here's a sweet shot of everyone with Clara Highes, the only Canadian to ever win medals in BOTH the summer and winter Olympics. If you look carefully, you can see that Baby M is practicing using the use of her index finger to indicate "#1". What a girl!
So it's been almost a month of snow now, in protest I opted to refuse to look at the camera for this otherwise nice photo of the family.
Lastly, time for yet another "can you find it" game. This time the question is: can you find the Baby M? Alas, no prize money this time, but surely finding the Baby M is a jackpot it and of itself.
