Christmas 2009:)!

Christmas Eve Day- getting excited and looking at the snow together:)
Me and baby Oboe
That night for dinner we had our friend Greg over for supper.
Xmas Eve we had the McAvoys over to play games and hang out- Shirley's one of my closest friends- it was so much fun! We ate a lot of sweets...hehe

Daddy's old man socks and old man slippers:)hehe

Then Santa came!- Santa also assembled a table and chairs for the children in record time:)

Here's all the gifts before we went to bed:)

Xmas morning! The videos at the bottom of this page are the best- but here are the kids opening Owen's gift- a boat with animals for the tub:)

The kids' gifts- a table and chairs from Nanny, boat for Owey- cash register and cart with "food" and "money" and a shopping basket for Emmy- she loved it! She also got coloring books and crayons, and a game of Memory for toddlers.

Cute...

Playing with the Memory cards and the cash register
Emmy's sweet, excited face- playing with her new toys- she keeps wanting to go to "Chapters" with her shopping cart-hehe- like father like daughter:)

Xmas breakfast with our little fam!
Blueberry pancakes and fruit salad- yummy:)


Clementines

We had a very chillaxed afternoon and for supper we were invited to our friends' Maddie and Archie's place. We got on all our outdoor gear and took the kids in sleighs to their house. It was so fun, and so movie-like that Scott and I were laughing singing Xmas carols:)
Archie's sister Evelyn was there, too- and we had a GREAT meal and a lovely time with them. Everything was fine but ended in tears when Owen had a big fall into a table corner:(

Ev and I

Nov/Dec Happenings:)

Sorry- these pic are actually in the exact reverse order (chronologically) from bottom to top- but they're fun just the same:)- to all our family- we love you and will see you soon!:) Enjoy the pics!

Today we made a "tent" and the kids thought it was hilarious- I'm meanwhile being forced by Emily to talk to "Hoots" the Owl from Seasame Street on the "phone" which is really a melon baller.
Owen walked around for like 5 minutes holding this
tube of wrapping paper- it was so funny:)

Reading to Owen while Emily naps
What a cutie, and a snuggle bug:) Note the big teeth on that baby!
Then Emmy woke up:)


I love this one

Cuddles and love
There she is:)
Helping decorate.
Our girl.
What an expression- kinda reminds me of Scott here.
When she's tired, she knows what to do.



Our first painting adventure- it rocked! She loved it! We made art!
We started with this mold of Emmy's hand at 8 1/2 months (supposed to be gold, btw:)

Then we moved onto paper...

Then finger paints!
It was awesome, but Scott would've had a heart-attack watching us:) hehe...

I love this pic:)


Some of my current journals- I know, I know...


Pigtails.
Drawing- an all time fave activity.
Emmy in the sunlight. She's beautiful:)
Want some of daddy's ice-cream cake?

"Did you want these back?"
I love this shot.
Hehe.
Still a baby, but almost as big as daddy.
I can stand and drink at the same time.
With her baby and a video.
My hubby- so handsome- I love this pic.
Looking big in this shirt.
Helping decorate the tree.
Hugs- for a couple days he did this on command. It was awesome.
Fascinated by the tree:)
The flirty look.
What a hair day. What a face.


He put that on himself:)

He sits here all the time. His fave bunny.
