Christmas Eve

We celebrated Christmas Eve with Craig's immediate and a bit of the extended family like we always do. This year we all went to Judy's house since Craig's parents house is still being renovated and some of us had not been to Judy's new house.
I made a "gift box" cake to share as Jesus' birthday cake. It was my first double layer cake and I covered it in fondant and made the bow out of fondant too. Then with the leftover batter, I made some mini cakes too!
Vicki & Kelly (craig's cousins) helped the kids with their gifts! Drew played a dice game and tried to win some money! The 4 little cousins (Craig's and his sister's kids) played "Sorry". My Grandma went with us. We always have a good time and stay way too late for the kids!
When we got home the boys got right in their Xmas pj's and got a mini cake and some milk for Santa.

Momo and Dylan

Momo and Dylan playing playdoh.....they did this for hours!

And he loved listening to her read books.

She's been here for a week. They have played hard and loved even harder. She has cooked homemade Mexican almost every day. I think I've gained a few lbs.

It's not easy having her here, I'll be honest. But I do love her and I love that I was able to spend

this time with her.

Christmas Program

Drew very reluctantly performed in his Kindergarten Christmas Program. Here he is dancing with his class to "We wish you a Merry Christmas" and some Figgy Pudding on his plate! :)

We took our beach blanket and sat on the floor. Dylan was having a snack and danced most of the program!

Drew did really well, despite him not wanting to do it at all. I bribed him by promising him that he didn't have to do any other music program for the rest of Primary school!

Payback

Ok, what was that saying that my mom said about paybacks?!



Well, at least this was contained in the bathroom and none was shoved in the toilet!
Thanks Dylan for keeping us on our toes!

Trash/recycling

Here's our trash/recycling station in our kitchen. I won these bags in a contest that ABITIBI paper retriever was holding last month. I should've known that these would end up like this if I won!



Luckily, we have the space for them. Drew was way excited when I got these in the mail. They even all velcro together. And he put them in order from most to least used from the trash!
Here he is explaining it all to Dylan!
