Ready For Advent

J's advent calendar is set and ready for her to get up tomorrow morning and read her first little slip of paper and (tomorrow) open a gift! Yay. I'm excited for Christmas to be here this year.

Docking Station

Our docking station for our iPod arrived just in time for Christmas...I love not having a ghetto blaster anymore...

Let It Snow

Oh Starbucks...I got sucked in.

Too Big

I'm making a toque for Rebecca. And I'm adapting a couple of patterns. And I swatched it three times and wasn't convinced, but made the toque anyway...Um. Yeah. It's kind of way too big.

Gramma's Shortbread

Party Musts

Smarties!

Christmas Explosion

I wandered down to our storage room tonight to extract our Christmas books and a few other things for a little get together on Saturday night. And now it feels like Christmas threw up in our living room.

Education Grad

Kelsey got her B.Ed. today. Way to go little sis! (She's not actually in this photo...)

Hard At Work

J was a busy bee with her new activity book today. Hours of fun...

The Parkade

The cars get parked in the "parkade" when J is done with them. This is a fancy-pants parkade too - it has multiple levels!

Little Parcels

Alex is going to the post office tomorrow...if you live in Toronto or England you might be getting a little something in your mail box in the next few weeks.

Quick Loaf

We needed bread. Pronto. So I made a quick loaf of white. And guess what, we prefer the whole wheat...

Anniversary Flowers

A few weeks late...but it's nice to have flowers!

Rearranged

It was time to scrub under the foam mats on our floor and I decided that since it will soon be time to rearrange the furniture to put the tree up, I may as well do it all at once. I love the new arrangement...it feels so much bigger in our living room!

He Shoots, He Scores

We took J to a hockey game tonight...so much fun!

J got a birthday gift from Fifers and Jess...

It's dark when we get up these days...we've started lighting a candle or two at breakfast.
