City Lost

It was hiding on Tuesday, but this morning Vancouver is pretty much gone…

Christmas Eve!

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!

Up, Up And Away

The girls and I caught an early flight to Kelowna this morning. We’ll be there for a whole week! Yay!!!

What IS This?

Baby C is not too sure about Baby Num Nums. J loved them…I think they taste like cardboard so if Baby C doesn’t like them, we’ll find her some other snack!

Avocado: Not Sure Yet

Bouncing Baby

She loves it!

Universal Love For Woof

J brought Woof out this morning for Baby C to play with. She grabbed a hold and didn’t let go. There is something about that puppy because even in its well loved, threadbare, mangy state, kids gravitate toward it.

My Little Helper

Baby C is transitioning to a bottle and it is taking a very long time to feed her…I’m also still nursing. Oh, and did I mention there is a pump? This is not much fun for any of us! 

With all the extra time we are having to spend with Baby C right now I would completely understand if J was really annoyed with us, but this is what I found tonight in my kitchen...when I asked her what she was doing (I know, obvious), she said she was helping me because Baby C needed me and if she did the dishes I could have a "little rest!" She did all the dinner dishes except the sharp ones and the "delicate" ones and we only had to redo a few!

Very lucky to have such wonderful little girl.

Hmmmm….

Crooked Grin

Angry Birds!

Heartburn Relief

Alex picked up some essential oils to help the Tums get rid of my heartburn. With J, I had heartburn much earlier and it was much worse, so I am thankful that Boxing Bean is being kinder to me when it comes to the heartburn!

Only Baby’s New Blanket

Apparently Only Baby has claimed this blanket as her own because it’s pretty and soft and she needs a baby blanket :)

Christmas Eve Shopping Craziness

I had to go pick up one last gift on the worst possible shopping day ever. I found the "secret" till upstairs and waited behind only one other person. This particular store is at the corner of Granville and Broadway and if you know where the tills at this store used to be, that's where the line up reached when I came down the escalator. CRAZY. I'm so very glad I knew where the upstairs till was!

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.

Sweetie Belle

Shoulder Ride

J was so excited to go out with us today and get a shoulder ride from her daddy.

Elephant

J got this little elephant at a classmate's birthday. It might be paper maché and it might not...
