Tis The Season




It will soon be Christmas and we are busy preparing for the big day. I'm almost finished my shopping and that feels really good...no stress! When the kids go back to Barrie next week I will be busy wrapping! Katie will help me with the baking and we'll be done! This past week we went to the lighting of the bay festivities. They had a big fire on the beach with different choirs all singing Christmas songs. It was a cool night so they served chilli, soups and hot chocolate. And of course Santa made an appearance. Katie had already visited with Santa at the mall...she insisted we go to talk to him and she actually sat on his lap(this is a big deal if you know Katie). She didn't want to tell him what she wanted for Christmas...all she wanted to know was where his reindeer were. They took a picture but if it weren't for Santa it would be a great mug shot of her! She took it very seriously! The kids picked out a tree this year and we've set it up outside and the lights are up. It's looking very festive!

Katies First Photo

What happens when you let your three year old use the "really big camera"? Great things of course! Katie has been wanting to take pictures with mommy's camera for some time now. So the other day I spent some time with her and here is her best shot. She now officially has the photography bug that has bit her siblings. I can't wait to see what else she comes up with.
