The holiday season is in full swing around here. Luckily we finished our decorating and most of our shopping before December kicked in... leaving us a little more time for everything else. Note though that I said 'most' of our shopping. Mallory has changed course on what she wants for Christmas with a little more than two weeks to go! I have some returns to make...
The first couple of weekends of the month there is a hockey tournament in town so Liam's ice time is cancelled. It's actually a good thing, because those are busy weekends for us. We've had our gingerbread party and our company's Christmas party in addition to the two birthday parties and first family Christmas gathering this weekend... phew!
Add to add a bit of interest into the everyday, the kids are into their Advent calendars - this year we sprang for Lego advent calendars for both kids (great timing as they came out with a girls' version for the first time this year!)... and our elf Reddy has been back in the house since December 1. This works well on weekday mornings when Mallory, in particular, is out of bed at the crack of dawn because she is so excited to go find him. (He occasionally does something funny or crafty; but for the most part he still just hides.) It does not work so well on weekend mornings such as today when she was downstairs looking for him at 6:30 and came up to inform me that she could not find him so it MUST be because grandma touched him last year and as a result, he did not come back from the north pole. She did eventually find him.)
And here's one more random photo - Liam playing with the gift he got at the company kids' party. It's a remote-control car that drives on the walls/ceiling. I realize though that in this picture, it just looks like an oversized bug.
