Some more Christmas fun

Today we joined my side of the family at my parents house.  My mom made a very tasty lunch for us all including turkey, potato casserole, fruit salad... Mmmm.

Merry Christmas

We have been having a  great Christmas so far.  The boys left out milk and cookies for Santa.  Ajay wrote the letter to Santa.  The note says "Dear Santa, Enjoy your milk and cookies.  Merry Christmas"

Maddox loves his new car.  The whole car changes color and makes music.

While unwrapping their presents from Santa they said "Mom, Santa has the same kind of wrapping paper as you" ... And I told them we must shop for wrapping paper at the same store.  I think they believed me.

We went to Sage's house for a gathering of Anton's side of the family.  Amara was very interested in the GameCube.

Amara loves her new dollhouse from Uncle Gilles.

Amara hit the jackpot again!

Amara was one lucky girl today because we received a big box from Auntie Gloria.  She received many jackets, shoes, boots (real Uggs!), dresses, pants, some dolls and a play computer.  She will be well dressed for a couple years.  A big thanks to Auntie Gloria!  

Christmas cookies

It's that time of year again for Christmas baking.  The boys were excited to help with making sugar cookies.  They helped to cut them out and decorate them.  

Sadly, my icing colours aren't all that Christmassy... Unless fuscia is the "new" red.  Either way they are tasty!

Amara eating yogurt

Amara was just so cute messily eating her yogurt that I just had to take a picture.

Christmas concert

It's time again for the annual Christmas concert ( well actually the winter concert, since they can't call it a Christmas concert).  This year the boys class were snowmen.  They sang some songs about what snowmen do at night, like skating, baseball and sledding.
