Well the month has been full of Christmas fun, and I managed to snap a picture or two along the way.
And now of course, it's time for sharing…
Take it away Lena!
In Canada, we build snowmen, snow forts, and go tobogganing.
In Australia, we swim. THE END.
We did a little Christmas baking…
Each of my kids like to make a special cookie just for Santa…
Mr. Claus is going to feel very cannibalistic after visiting our house.
We made a gingerbread house or two.
Front view...
And back view.
They are soooo hilarious.
The Christmas wish lists this year. Lego can go ahead and thank us once
again for keeping them in business.
By the way for all my Canadian readers… candy clouds are a real thing you can get here.
Conner is not crazy, weird or overly imaginative.
Lena declared herself queen of the countdown to Christmas, and would not allow
anyone else to touch/change the numbers. Which we were all really grateful for, otherwise
we never would have known when there were E more days until Christmas.
Eeeeee! It's almost Christmas!
See, it makes sense now.
All ready to open Christmas Eve p.j.s!!!
Ta-da!
And Jarom is suddenly and awkwardly aware of the
fact that Reid is actually a lot taller than him.
Aww… so magical.
Carrying on with the tradition started by the MAN last year… before the kids start ripping into
presents, they must write in their Christmas journals why they are thankful for the real meaning
of Christmas (Presents and candy!!!)
NOW they can get ripping into the presents!
Get ready for some happy faces...
I'm happy!
I'm happy with my eyes closed!
I'm happy with my eyes closed and my hands shaking like crazy!
I'm so happy I may even forget to BREATHE!
(Top that!)
And now it's time for a little segment I'd like to call…
Random shots:
Conner bought his mother this massive thing of chocolate.
I now officially have enough chocolate to last me until the day I die.
Thank you Conner!!
(Thanks Grandma and Grandpa C)
Lego. Lego, Lego, Lego, LEGO!
Our attempt at a Christmas dinner.
NICE HATS!
Opening the traditional "after dinner gifts"
Reid's face. Too many ways to make fun… not enough time...
Pictures are great and everything, but a little live action is always good too…
Enjoy!
