Charlie and Elly are at such a fun age for Christmas this year! We talked about Santa, and Charlie spent ages cutting out and gluing pictures from catalogues on his Christmas list - we even had to write it all down to send to Santa in a letter because his real list was too big! We sent it off and got a reply about a week later, so that was pretty exciting! We made Christmas sugar cookies and gingerbread houses, walked down Candy Cane Lane, went to the pageant in Spruce Grove, did a Christmas program in Tofield with Andrews family and even managed to squeeze in family pictures! It was very busy, I was glad I had done all my shopping and wrapping way in advance!

| Mikados with the children - they gave us our own little room where your feet dangle into a pit in the floor, it was nice the kids could just run around and be contained in the room! |
