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!

Great looking tree!
Love the tree. Can't wait to see the picture of Katie with Santa. That is so so cool. Won't be long now. I am getting so excited.
The children look so big...and Alex is grown up! Have a Very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
I have spent the last few days reading your entire blog, and I must admit.... I am hooked. We are wanting to take our 3 children on the road, and your experiences may be the deal breaker for us. Thank you for sharing and Merry Christmas from the Long family!
