Today was Hockey Skills for young Violet, and power skating for Jacob. For today’s picture of the day I have Violet skating between little pillions. I love watching the kids during these classes. They both give it their all, trying to do what ever the coaches ask of them. I just hope they can use it in there hockey games.

Today we headed to Mastermind Toys with the kids, looking for inspirations for little miss Violet’s birthday next week. Both the kids love that going there, they always seem to find new toys to interest them. Today Jacob surprised me though, after first looking at some Snap Circuits and other science toys he found the Dairy of a Wimpy Kid books. He looked over the selection of books he picked one and found a place to sit down and started to read. For the rest of the time in the store, that’s where he was. I just hope we can find more books to capture his imagination.

Tonight we headed to party city for some birthday planning. With Violet’s birthday just over a week away we have a lot of details to iron out. Today we were just looking, we’ll be picking balloons for our birthday diva closer to the big day.

We were setting up Violets room to surprise her when she got home. Ruby just had to be a part of it. First posing for a picture that showed off the new room. She also had to be  first to try the new bedding, though in the end it wasn’t the same without Violet

Today was the kids first game back after the Christmas break.  It was fun  to be back at the MasterCard Centre watching the kids play.

Today we have a picture of Ruby’s paw print in the snow. I took the picture during our morning walk. I just love watching Ruby trying to play in the snow.

Today we have a different sort of Ruby picture. Today while we were doing some reorganizing in Violet’s room, Ruby joined us. Before we knew it she was under the bed. we tried to capture the moment, this was the best shot we got. If I were to tell the full story, Ruby was just trying to help out. Violet was under their picking up some of her things that had accumulated under her bed. In the end Ruby did come out with something, so I guess she did help.

Yesterday after Jacob’s swimming lesson we headed to Toys-R-us so the kids could spend their Christmas Gift-cards. so today I thought it would be fun to share a picture of Violets little Love Bird. Perhaps in the coming days I’ll share pictures of some of the other things they bought in the coming day.

Tonight we have another picture of Ruby. Tonight she’s sleeping on her  new bed while I watch some TV.

Today we got together with our family to celebrate the season.  It was a fun time, and as always the kids (and parents) had a good time.
