We hope to keep all of our cross-provincial friends, and those abroad, updated with this blog. And maybe even hear from some who are long lost friends.

Christmas #2

Do you think Grandpa & Grandma and Auntie Lisa had fun Christmas shopping? Well we sure had a lot of gifts to open. Thanks to everyone, they were all so perfect.
Here's Nadia opening the third My Little Pony! And Grandpa and Grandma's reactions are priceless. Of course Nadia thought that was too cool. Amazingly she now has 5 and no duplicates.
Colin sporting a new touque, eating a new toy and wearing all new clothes. (We don't normally use pink blankets for Colin, I just happened to grab a pink one at Grandma's)
Colin's new train. It holds blocks that move up and down, turn and slide and the whole thing has lights and moves. He was completely mesmerized.
We caught Nadia's reaction when she realized what this gigantic gift was. Grandpa & Grandma got this one. And boy were they surprised when we opened it up and it was in no less than 1 million pieces with about twice as many screws! Grandpa spent about 1 1/2 hours assembling it, while Nadia napped.
Baking with Daddy.It was a lot of work setting up that kitchen! Thanks Grandpa! Not only does Nadia love it, so does every other girl that comes over.
And the gloves.
The weather was so warm. Perfect for playing in the snow.
Nadia is getting very good at tromping through the snow and falling into it. She especially loves to roll in it.
Enjoying the jumper. Nadia used the same jumper in the same spot at the same age. Kinda weird.
Drumming with Daddy.
When we got home from Grandpa & Grandma's, I asked Nadia if we should take the Christmas tree down soon. So she asked why? I said, because Christmas is over. So I turned around to find Tim to ask him when he wanted to take it down and then I heard ripping. Nadia was already taking ornaments off. I told her we have to ask Daddy first. Then enters Daddy. And Nadia promptly announces that we're taking the Christmas tree down because Christmas is over! Okay. I guess I'd better supervise this.

I love all your pictures! I don't even remember mom coming out in the snow with us. I wish I had remembered to take copies of all your pictures before you went home. Oh well, I'll just enjoy them on your blog. I have to say, though, I'm glad I wasn't at that New Years Party.
