I have been out of touch with reality the last month as we have had no Internet. We took down the computer to set up the Christmas tree and did not seem to get around to re-hooking it back up til now. Dann and I did buy each other a new "Mac" computer for Christmas and we have gone wireless, so that is exciting.
Here are a few photos of the last month and our adventures.
We met my Aunt & Uncle in Edmonton for a Pre-Christmas visit and the kids loved all the attention. Of course, we had to do a West Ed trip and Emma rode all the rides while I got a bit of shopping in.
We also went to Ikea... love that store!
The play area in the cafeteria is awesome. We had a great lunch and visit with Harley & Helen while Emma and Ethan ran around. Ethan is totally mobile now and cannot sit down for long!
He keeps me running 24-7...
Emma got this beautiful sweater from Grandma Helen and Papa Harley (above). She loved wearing it while she played!
Grandma Helen could not get enough of Ethan...
and Ethan could not get enough of Papa Harley reading to him (turn the page).
Here is Emma with Santa.
Ethan did not want anything to do with Jolly 'ol St. Nick!
Christmas morning was quiet but nice. It was just the four of us and no pressure to cook brunch or a turkey (we had x-mas dinner at a friends). The kids were very excited (Emma I guess, Ethan had no clue). Emma was up at 6:30 a.m., so that was not too bad. Ethan woke around then too, so "gift opening" was in full swing by 7:00 a.m.
Emma was so impressed that Santa ate her treats and took the time to write her a note (the reindeer loved the carrots as well).
Ethan loved the Woody doll from Grandma Hein (too cute).
Emma got this cool "American Idol" Barbie from Auntie Eileen & Uncle Ed. The Barbie sings and you can sing with her. Emma loves it! Note all the "Littlest Pet Shop" toys in the background. Emma is "Pet Shop" crazy... (she got too many to count)!
Love this photo...
Emma got these funky wash cloths from Auntie Eileen & Uncle Ed as well

Sorry it took me so long, but we hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and all the best in 2008!

i have those same jammies!! I also LOVE the fact that you have the fire on your tv set in the background....hilarious!
nice to see you back in blogger land!
funny... I was going to comment on our new fireplace, so it makes me laugh that you did the commenting for me!
M-J
I'm with Jenny!! SO HOT!
Yes, I noticed the fireplace too! I had the Galaxy Holiday Classics music channel on over the holidays, but I really think they should find a way to add the fake fireplace in the background to make it that much more festive! Holiday classics and a black screen, no fireplace...just doesn't cut it!
I also loved the picture of Ethan and Woody! Such a great picture!
I'll coach you with the bits I know about Macs if you need! I'm all up on the lingo now! xoxo
Hi, looks like you had a lovely laid back Christmas with your little family. West Ed mall brings back memories for us all, those rides especially!
Happy New Year to you all.
