Today the tree came out of storage. Both kids were excited to hear that we were going to bring out the tree today. I can’t wait to see their faces tomorrow morning when they see it up. Of course I still have to straighten out all the branches and decorate it, but it’s a start.
Today Jacob and I went with Violet to Ballet class. One great thing about her new studio, Innovative Rhythm Dance, is that they have a screen were you can watch the classes. Jacob was thrilled to be able to watch Violet’s class. Of course he probably wouldn’t have been if he hadn’t forgotten his 3DS.
Today after dinner we headed to the mall. While there the kids found this board for posing. Violet was right in there wanting me to take her picture. Jacob took some convincing.
Today our family headed to the Scotiabank Theatre for a sneak peek of the new Disney movie Frozen. The kids were so excited. They spent the entire subway ride looking at the ticket. The strangest part of the evening was that they searched bags and took all cell phones before we entered the theatre. The movie itself was great. One of the best Disney movies ever. There was also a fun Mickey Mouse short before the movie that was pretty funny
Today we had a visitor for the afternoon. Ben came to visit. so Melissa and I thought it would be fun if the kids built Ginger Bread Houses. It was fun trying to build the little houses, and the watching the kids stick candy on them.
Today we have a picture from Jacob’s early hockey game. He’s game was at 7:45 and I’m so proud of how hard he tried.
Today we have a picture of my sleeping daughter with her new Sofia the First doll that her Nana got her tonight after Ballet. She loves that doll and wouldn’t put it down since she got home.
This morning Violet came downstairs with an empty toilet paper roll and an empty tissue box and asked me to help her make a car. We didn’t have time before school, but I helped her cut up the Toilet paper roll to wheels. When I got home from work, I found that she’d been busy. She’s even added seats inside for her dolls to sit on. It’s quite a little project for her, one that she’s going to take to show her teacher tomorrow, so I thought I should show my readers it first.
Today the kids brought home there Scholastic books from school, Violet got a Pinkalicious Christmas story, Jacob a Lego Legends of Chima book , and Nan got today’s picture of the day, A Porcupine in a Pine Tree. It’s a great book, that I will enjoy reading to the kids this Christmas season.
Today Jacob’s Beaver Troop had a flashlight walk through Colonel Samuel Smith Park. Jacob seemed to have a fun time. I thought the view of the city was spectacular, unfortunately my phone’s camera couldn’t truly capture it. Though Id did like how this picture turned out.
