Before Christmas Post

 

*Totally forgot to publish this!*  

I can't believe that Christmas is only a couple days away. It just feels strange. I'm done my shopping but I still have to wrap it all though. Dan did a Costco shop today and he said it was crazy busy. We had planned on going down to the States shopping today but we needed to get stuff done here. I thought that I'd clean Lexie's room today but I only got half way through it! I try to get her to help me which totally slows me down. Do you ever work your butt off and then it looks like nothing was done? That was totally today. Lexie's closet and drawers are tidy but the rest of her room is cluttered.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Watching Santa come down the stairs.

 Decorating gingerbread people made by the students at Fleetwood Park Secondary. They were so tasty and had a nice soft/chewy texture.

 Olivia as a butterfly.

 Alexis as a cat.

 Alexis was an angel for her Christmas concert.

Olivia was a sugarplum fairy.

Breakfast with Santa #1

Yes, that's right. There will be 2 Breakfast with Santas. This first one was at my mom's work. The teacher chef and students made breakfast and it was really good! Their potatoes were really good. And their scones with currants were just like my Grandma's!!!! I had two even though I'm trying to lose weight. Still. That's an ongoing goal for me. I've got most of the girls gifts. The big girls have been easier, it's just Miss Cassidy we still have to get something for. She's asked Santa for a Princess Peach stuffy and a Princess Peach DS game. Check and check. One was from Hong Kong and one happened to be on Craigslist.
