1 sleep to go then the big day. We went to mass at 6:00 pm tonight at the church affiliated with Megans school it was great evening. Megan enjoyed the pupet show & magic tricks all explaining about Christmas and it's importance to us. Afterwards we came home and our friends Heather and Jeff came by for a visit it was grat to see them. Megan put cookies, tart and milk for Santa & carrots for the reindeer....she's so excited.

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house not a creature was stirring not even a mouse.........Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

SK Christmas Concert

Tonight was Megan's Christmas Concert, she did excellent. Her class performed 2 songs, one was "Go Tell It On The Mountain" and the other was "Happy Happy Joy" the class did great. The overall concert was great and the chior was excellent. Megan would like to be in the chior but she'll have to wait until she is in grade 3 for that. We went to see the concert along with Megans Uncle Eldon and Aunt Yvonne. I will post pictures later when I receive them from Aunt Yvonne.

Naughty or Nice?

Naughty or Nice?

Here's a fun web site where you can check out if you're on Santa's naughty or nice list - it's clean so you can check it with kids around.

Here was mine: Still very much on nice list, but must continue good behavior. Should eat more vegetables instead of junk food. Was very polite last Thursday! When doing chores, needs to do them as well as possible. Often exhibits good behavior.

Open House

Tonight we had our 3rd annual open house....it was a great time again, people coming and going, enjoying food, drink and conversation. Thank you all that came by to visit, and sorry about the people who weren't able to make it you were missed.

Is that a Cavity?

We 3 went to the dentist tonight......Megan wante to be 1st in the chair....she loves the dentist. Tonight she was cavity free and the dentist said she has a beautiful set of teeth (too bad they'll fall out)....then is was Daddy's turn.....the dentist said no cavaties but when he got the xray back, Daddy indeed has a cavity...Megan couldn't believe it, she was disgusted and asked the dentist if we really did. I'm cavity free too....girls rule!

Their Engaged!

You're saying whose engaged.....well it's Heather and Jeff that's who! Congratulations to both of you wishing you much happiness forever and always! Love from the Young's

Trimming the Tree

Tonight we trimmed the tree. Megan of coarse put the angel on top...this year we used mostly My "Moms" decorations. Christmas music playing. We had a great night.

Scary Dream!

Last night we brought the Christmas tree in from the garage. We placed it in it's place and then we explained to Megan it needed to warm up before we decorate it and that we would do it tonight.....at 2:30 am I was woken by Megan literally jumping into our bed saying I'm scared, I'm scared....she's never done this before. She wouldn't talk about it at the time, so I just let her sleep for an hour with us then carried her back to her own room....This morning we asked her what her dream was about and she said a robbery was stealing our Christmas Tree....how sad, poor thing.....but she said she dreamt of gingerbread men when she was in our bed....funny thing she has them for a snack today for school.

The 3 of us were out for dinner tonight and we were talking about how busy things are and what things have to be done, I mentioned that we had dentist appointments as well to go to and Megan pipes up "and when do you think we'll have time to do that?" .....we sure ha d a good laugh at that.

Warming Up!

Cutting Down The Tree!

We went to cut our tree after breakfast today, the girls had a great time. Megan insisted she wanted to pull Ashleigh since she was much bigger then her....too cute!

Cutting the Tree Down....what a special time to share!

Perfect Poinsettas!

We had just finished getting to leave this morning to go to breakfast.

Best Friends!

Hot Chocolate Anyone?

Megan & Ashleigh enjoying a cup of Hot Chocolate and Marshmallows when we got back from the evening

Angels Among Us!

I believe there are "Angels Among Us!" This is a song by Alabama that is really heartfelt by me.

Carriage Ride

Good Girls!

Today Megan & I went and picked up my "goddaughter" Ashleigh. We went to the mall....pretty daring of me I must say....however they were awesome, held hands all the way through when they weren't discussing the colours of shirts they liked best! We came home and they played inthe backyard for an hour or so, came in had dinner then we went to the park for Horse & carriage rides....it was a fantastic night. After the ride we went to the park and had some night time play on the slides & swings...the kids really enjoyed themselves.

Nativity Play

Tonight we went to KRT church where they had a Nativity Play. We went with our friends Yvonne & Eldon. It was a really enjoyable play which was good for the children for them to really understand what Christmas is really about. They had live animals and baby Jesus was a real baby which Megan thought was fantastic and that he was so "cute". We saw teachers from Megans school and the Pastor was one of Megan's friends from her class. It was a nice evening out to celebrate Christmas.

Weeks ago we would ask Megan what was special about Christmas and she would say presents, since then we have been discussing what Christmas really is about and she is also learning more about it at school and now she says it's about Jesus, family and presents.....What a kid at least she's starting to understand.

A Day Off....What's that?

Today Ken and I had the day off together. I took Megan to school then we went out to breakfast. It was funny....we were sitting there and I said wow I can reaslly enjoy this cup of coffee....there was no I need to go to the bathroom 4 times, can you help me draw this Mom, I want this I don't want that......it was really nice but boy did we both miss her, when she's not with us a piece is missing! We went to a few stores after that, grab coffee from Tims and came home. Ken chilled out on the couch and I sorted out a few things. It was nice to be able to relax a bit! Then off to school I went to pick Meg up! It was a great day!

What a pretty girl!!

Children's Party!

We went to a Children's Christmas Party today through our insurance company, we go every year and Megan really enjoys this. She's dancing to the twist in the pictures and I'm not sure if you can see the 2 darker pictures but hey brought Birds of Prey in which Megan really thought was great. She got to sit with Santa (the picture I took with the other camera, picture not available yet) and he gave her a present....Lucky Girl!

.

What a Stylist!

I don't think Megan will be taking up hairdressing in the future....this is her latest hairstyle in the bath. She gets her hair full of soap, stands up to look at herself in the mirror and creates a masterpiece.....I just had to take this picture!

I have been a Stranger

Well I haven't updated my blog in a while, I've been sick....and I'm still not feeling well. On Sunday I tried to decorate the house a bit, then again on Monday. I lost my voice on Tuesday and Wednesday (which some people were happy about...lol) and here I am today still feeling terrible....I've attempted to write Christmas Cards tonight and got through the majority of them (I need to get the ones out to England tomorrow) and so my list of things to do is starting to get shorter....I do need a break from doing things, but with me, if you know me that will be close to impossible.

Megan came home from school yesterday with her new reader and she was so excited to show us all about it, she was so proud of herself reading 20 pages to us and she wanted to go on. We think it's awesome how well she's doing.....she is really into the Math and English now and says Gym is boring.....she's not like her mother that is for sure! lol
