Christmas Preparations

We slowly made the Christmas trees today. It went fairly well, the kids weren't too bad. I let them help a little.

This is the basement one. It is not as nice, but the kids have already been touching it all day. I didn't put our nice ornaments on it.

This is the one upstairs. I put the nicer and more breakable ornaments on top and let the kids help with the bottom half.

The kids each wanted to pose with the Santa hat. They kept taking turns wearing the hat and yelling HOHOHO!

Playing Outside

We have a lot of snow now so it is much more pleasant to play outside.

Winter hats

Our kids have fur hats. Chloe was hesitant to wear hers at first but when she saw Jayden wearing his she wanted to wear it also.

Auntie's House

We went to Auntie's house last weekend for the night with Nana and Papou. The kids had lots of fun.

Here is the queen sitting on her throne while watching tv.

It seemed to be the place to sit. Here is what they looked like when we came home from shopping.

Halloween

The kids got all dressed up for Halloween yesterday. Jayden really didn't want to, but then he finally gave in. We went to a couple of houses (people they knew) but that is all. Chloe didn't want to go to people she didn't know, then we went to the firehall. The firemen were giving out treats, lights and hot chocolate, and there was a haunted house. We were out for about an hour, and it was long enough. It was very hard to get a good picture, they wouldn't cooperate that well.

Chloe's Halloween Concert

Chloe had a small concert (3 songs) at playgroup last Tuesday. It was for the elderly but Jayden, Jessi and I decided to go watch. This is how she stood the whole time. She would have probably been ok, but she saw Jayden and I before the concert, so of course, she wanted to stay with us. At least she wasn't crying during the concert, she cried before and after.
