And so we say goodbye to a crazy year…there’s lots of exciting things to look forward to in the coming year…this is how I’m ushering out 2013…lying on the floor, playing games with my kiddo and trying to not moan too much from the aches and pains of the flu…ughhhhh

Here’s to a wonderful, wonderful 2014!

J still calls C *her* baby and today she insisted on feeding her…C didn’t eat much…she thought it was play time with her favourite playmate!

Art Lover

281213

Today J and Baby C and I went to the airport to hang out with some friends on their layover to home to Europe. We had a lovely visit, but I hope that the next time we see them, it will be at our place or theirs…I think the last three times we have met have been in the airport!

Christmas Eve!

241213

J decorated our funny little tree this morning…I can’t wait until next year when we can have our regular decorations!

We went to the VanDusen gardens to see the Christmas lights and then headed over to Auntie Rebar’s for a 16 person Christmas Eve dinner…

And now hopefully these two excited little girls will get some sleep because tomorrow is going to be a HUGE day!

Seussical

My parents took us to see the show that Auntie Rebar is working on right now. J got to bring one of her buds from school and they both loved it.

Snow

201213

We woke up this morning and the tree looked like this!!

201213b

And then we walked to school and it looked like this! (Someone is happy for the snow but also because it’s the last day of school)

201213c

A small person at home thought the snow was pretty amazing too!

201213d

And she got a very special, personalized blanket in the mail today from a very special friend of mine.

A Special Tree

191213

J got this very cool tree in the advent calendar today. It’s cardboard and it has a pretty beaded garland and a gold star. The dish has a “magic” solution in it.

191213b

This is after four hours. J is going to love it when she gets home!

Carols And Lanterns

181213

J’s school has an awesome Parent Advisory Committee. Along with one of the local resident’s associations, they planned an evening of carolling in our neighbourhood for the kids. We spend about an hour and half singing and walking and there was hot chocolate and goodies for the kids. J had an absolute blast and Baby C slept almost the whole time. YAY!

Little Explorer

151213

Now that she’s on the move, she tends to take the hard way places, especially if it means it’s faster!

Charlotte Diamond

141213

We took Snow White to see Charlotte Diamond...I love that she loves the music we listened to as kids...Charlotte Diamond, Sharon, Lois & Bram and Raffi in particular! J was thrilled to go up on stage and sing and sign along…this is the third year we went and J has been asking for weeks when she would get to go and was so happy to be there today! Especially when she got to go up on stage!

Story Time

It might look like a tug-o-war, but it’s really big sister reading to little sister….really!

Girls At Grouse

071213

As part of our advent calendar, we got to take the gondola up Grouse Mountain today. It was cheaper for us to get a family ticket than three tickets for us and J (C is still free) so J invited her best bud to come with us. They had an amazing time!

The Postcard Place

061213

Baby C and I went to Granville Island this morning for coffee and a treat…and I may have visited the Postcard Place. Although, note to self, most stuff doesn’t open until 10:00 am…good thing the coffee place was open!
