Matthew's school had "Whoville" day. He dressed up like the Grinch. I really had fun putting his costume together. I think he should have won, but apparently there was a really good Cindy Lou Who that won in his area of the school. I guess that's why they don't let the mothers that make the costumes be the costume contest judges! Ha! Ha!
But, seriously, isn't he cute? Here he is with his little brother.
Caleb's preschool had "Night before Christmas" day. All the kids come to school in their pj's. Then they go to sleep. While they are 'asleep', a visitor comes to the preschool! It's such a fun day for them! Caleb's still talking about how much fun it was.
My Pre-K class had a party in the afternoon. We recited a French poem and sang a couple songs for the parents and grandparents. We had snacks and we also had a visit from the big guy! So much fun (even for the teacher)!
Today, we enjoyed our first day of Christmas holidays. We played dominoes, we cleaned the house, we ate donuts, we shovelled the driveway 3 times (lots of snow today!), we picked up our cousins at the airport. We had a great day! And we're looking forward to more fun in the days to come! Merry Christmas!

Caleb, the little "monkey":
Notice Matthew's newly lost tooth on the bottom?

Was it Caleb's Superman delivered by Santa?
Was it Matthew's donkey cookie?
Or maybe Caleb's Shrek cookie?
Maybe it was Daddy's new ski pants (Caleb never could keep a secret)?
Was it Caleb's new spiderman pj's (mask sold separately)?
Maybe the best gift was the tuque, mitts and scarf that Grandma D. knit for the boys?
Was it Matthew's magician's kit?
Or Maya's first lego set?
Was it Grandpa R.'s new Roughrider shirt?
Could it be Caleb's playmobil pirate set?


- The boys took a trip to the mall and met the jolly old fellow.
-Today after swimming lessons, we caught a glimpse of him, but didn't feel it was necessary to stop and talk, since they had just seen him a few days ago.
