After the kids being away with Nana and Papa the last couple of days I was glad to find time this morning to play with them. One of the things we did was play Jacob’s new Cars Monopoly.
Tonight as bedtime our little Violet didn’t want to go to bed. I had set her up in her bed, then went to put some clothes away. When I came back downstairs, I noticed something on the couch. I think she thought if she’s under the blanket I wouldn’t see her.
Today we celebrated Violet’s third birthday with friends and family. It’s always nice when so many people gather in celebration, and even the incompetence of Pizza Pizza couldn’t stop the party from being a great success. I want to thank every one for coming and stay tuned for a post dedicated to the party in the coming days.
Today my little girl turned 3, to celebrate Melissa made a Oreo Ice Cream Cake. So with me working from home we had a little family celebration during Jacob’s lunch hour. The kids had a special lunch and with cake and presents, before Jacob headed back to school and Melissa headed to work.
Our little, soon to be birthday girl, has been napping late in the afternoon making bed time a little more difficult. Today she curled up on the couch with her blanket and fell asleep while I watched the end of the leaf game. She was so cute, I thought I should capture the moment. After all it’s the last picture I’ll have of her while she’s 2.
Today I saw the Tricycle I wish I could have got for one of my kids. When I first saw it, I knew I had to get a picture. It’s just a great little tricycle. Of course Jacob’s now to old and Violet already has one. So I’ll be content with the picture.
For a picture today I thought I’d capture Jacob, curled up snug in his bed. For month’s Jacob favourite game has been Mario 64 DS. So for Christmas Jacob got a bunch of things to go with his love of the plumber with the mustache. From his Stuffed Mario he sleeps with each night in his Mario sheets, wearing his Mario Pj’s. I wonder how long it’ll last.
Saturday morning once again found me at Violet’s dance class. So I snapped today’s picture of the day of her, while she danced around waiting for her class to start.It amazes me how excited she gets around dancing. When we’re at the dance studio, my shy little Violet is so friendly and out going. I’m glad we’ve found something that she enjoys so much.
Today we had snow, so while Jacob was in school I bundled up Violet and headed out to have some fun in it. It was a lot of fun watching her play in the snow. I just hope we get some more and I’ll have a opportunity to watch both the kids play in the snow soon.

I guess my little girl isn’t ready to give up her after noon nap. I took this picture of her at the dinning room table while she waited for dinner. She tries so hard not to fall asleep. but the day is just to long.
