The boys first movie at a theater: MEGAMIND

 We took the boys to see their first movie at a theater.  We took them to see to Megamind at CinemaCity McGillvary.  The boys did pretty good, though nearer the end of the movie they did get a little fidgety.  When the movie was over Ajay started crying though he said it was because he was so sad that the movie was over.  He wanted to see another movie right away.  His crying could also be blamed on the fact that we took them to see the movie during the time when they usually nap.  In the end, I believe the movie experience was a success.

Christmas Time!

 This Christmas season has been full of food, fun and family.  We still have one more gathering to come too.  We have been to the my mom's side family gathering about a week and a half ago.  The boys had a lot of fun playing with some of my younger cousins.

The boys first time sledding!

 We took the boys out sledding for the first time today.  We had borrowed my parents sled, the one I remember using on many occasions when I was little.  We took the boys to a little hill in a park near our house.  Anton went down on the sled with the boys the first time.  We asked them if they liked sledding and they said no.  Luckily we got them to keep on trying.  At the end we asked them if they liked sledding and they said YES.

Bowling!!!

 Today, we took the boys bowling for the first time, at Collin's 5th birthday party. The boys got through about six rounds before they started to get cranky.  They did pretty good, though luckily for them they had the guards on the gutters.  Somehow though they still were able to get a couple gutter-balls. The boys liked that it was glow bowling.  Ajay was amazed at how the stripes on his shirt glowed.

Christmas Baking

This last week the boys and I made some sugar cookies.  The boys enjoyed helping make the dough and cutting out the shapes.  Their favorite shape was the gingerbread man which they called Gingy, ( the name of the gingerbread man in the Shrek movies). 

Ajay's First Cavity

Today we went to the dentist to get Ajay's cavity filled.  The appointment was originally scheduled for January but we got in earlier since someone else cancelled.  I gave Ajay gravol as the dentist told me to do the last time we saw him, but I was starting to wonder if it was working.  An hour after he had taken it he was still running around and not tired in the least.  Finally we got to see the dentist, and Ajay was a great patient.  He did not move around much or cry.  So maybe the gravol did work.  The dentist did notice something though, which is one of his front teeth moves a little.  Apparently, he and Maddox have been playing too rough.  There is nothing they can do about it though.

My birthday

I celebrated my 29th birthday at the end of November.  We went to a restaurant called "Chop Steakhouse" with several of our friends.  It was the first time we had been there, and won't be the last.  Their food was great.  I had Filet Mignon, which was so tender it fell apart in your mouth.  We decided to have my cake with the boys because they were so excited about it.  They kept on saying "Mommy I want to have part of your birthday"... which I believe they were talking about my cake and not actually my birthday.

Photo time with Santa

We went to see Santa this evening at the mall.  The boys were excited to see Santa, no tears in sight.  Though when Santa asked what they wanted for Christmas they could not come up with anything.

CRAFT: Egg Carton Caterpillars

Yesterday, the boys and I decided to make egg carton caterpillars.  I was amazed at how meticulous their painting was.  They had so much fun that they were painting for nearly 30 minutes.  Which is a long time when you are only painting an egg carton.

The first BIG snowfall of the winter 2010/2011

Last night it snowed about 15cm, which is quite a shock when you have not really had snow yet.  The boys loved it, and started asking me very early if they could go outside to play in it.  Finally I caved in and we put on lots of warm clothes and braved the weather.  They wanted to make snowmen and throw snowballs, but the snow was not quite right, so we settled on snow angels and shoveling walkways.

A new bundle of Joy

Our friends Jarret and Cathy had their first baby last weekend, her name is Brooklyn.  We went to see the new family at the hospital.  

Ajay and Maddox's Third Birthday!

On Friday was Ajay and Maddox's third birthday.  The boys were very excited about everything including all the decorations.  They even started singing "Happy Birthday" to themselves.  We were planning on having their birthday party on Saturday, so we decided to take the boys out for supper at Montana's.  We were joined by Ghislaine and Sage.  After supper we gave them their birthday present from us, which was play nail guns and a bunch of arts and crafts stuff.

On Saturday, we were joined by a bunch of our friends and family to celebrate.  This year I decided against making my own cake as it took a really long time last year.  This years cake theme was "How to Train your Dragon",  a recently release movie that the boys really enjoyed.

First trip to the Dentist

Yesterday we took Ajay and Maddox to see the dentist for the first time.  We found a children's dentist that was luckily close to home.  Both of the boys did a good job sitting in the dentists chair and following their orders.  This time they did an introductory to going to the dentist.  The dental assistant brushed the boys teeth, then used the water sprayer and sucking tube.  After that the dentist came in to count teeth and check to see if everything was okay.  Maddox's teeth were good, but Ajay had a cavity in-between his front two teeth.  We have to go back to the dentist with Ajay in January to get a filling.  We will see if he likes dentists after that.

Halloween Fun!

Last night was Halloween.  We took the boys trick or treating first to peoples houses that we knew, and people that wanted to see them in their costumes.  After we got home the boys wanted to go trick or treating around our house too.  I think Anton got tired before they did.  Ajay was even asking to go out for a bike ride, even though it was all dark outside.  Here are a couple photos from the evening:
