One of Jacob’s favourite breakfasts is a Sausage on an English Muffin. He loves when Melissa makes it for him, but this morning we changed things up. He made it for himself It was fun watching as he realized how simple cooking really is. I wonder what the next thing we’ll tackle together in the kitchen.
We spent the last night of 2014 with Friends, celebrating the year that was and looking forward to the year that will be. I snapped the picture of the day of the tired kids as they waited for the new year to begin.
Tonight we continued our Christmas tradition of allowing each kid to open a present and one for them to share. There gifts are Christmas PJs and the joint gift is a Christmas story book. Today’s picture of the day is of Jacob reading the story to Violet.
Today the kids finally got to really decorate our Christmas tree. They were so excited that I just sat back and took pictures. It was so much fun for us all. The best was when Violet pointed at the tree and said ‘That part isn’t ornamented.’
After weeks of getting close to scoring, today Violet finally put on in the back of the net. It took till her last shift of the game. A game filled with shots that missed the net or were stopped by the goalie one finally found its through. We’re so proud of our little hockey star.
Today the kids got their letters from Santa they were so excited to open and read them. The looks on their faces as the read the letters makes all he hustle and bustle of the Christmas season worth it.
Today Jacob had a dose of Retro gaming. At a local sub shop they have a classic table top Ms. Pac-Man game. Jacob was surprisingly excited to play it. I foresee many trips to that sub shop in my future.
With Christmas Eve just a week away I thought I’d share a picture of some of our decorations. Today we have our snowmen.
Today we have another picture of our Elf on the Shelf. Jingles is still watching over our tree though today he’s got an ornament. I suppose we really have to get to decorating it.
After the weeks of worry the kids were thrilled when they came downstairs to see Jingles had finally returned. I think he is trying to give us a hint about the lack of decorations on our tree.
