Christmas is Coming!

Kiera and  I decorated the tree on the first of December (the boys fell asleep on us) and we've been to a few other events to get in the Christmas spirit.

The Candlelight Santa Parade was a hit - two thumbs up!  DPP_0019

Kiera's favourite part was collecting the loot.DPP_0021 DPP_0022DPP_0023

Kiera made her stage debut in 'Wonderland'.  The performance was put on by her preschool which is part of a fine arts school with music, theatre and dance classes.  The story of Alice in Wonderland wove together acts from each of the classes - everything from Swan Lake to Cher.  Kiera's class was DISCO.  (Unfortunately, we had not one, but two video cameras die on us so you will have to add the 'Staying Alive' soundtrack yourself.)DPP_0024 DPP_0025

Looking to see if she can spot us out in the audience.DPP_0026

It took a little time to warm up, but then she started grooving. DPP_0027

The whole cast (and that is just for the second show!)  A huge undertaking and very well done.DPP_0028

Birthday Boy!

Kiera helped me do some holiday baking before Riley's party.  Riley was quick to catch onto climbing on the stool to see and 'help'.  Now he loves to climb and will drag chairs or boxes around to climb on to get into things (namely trouble).

We wanted to go for a hike one Sunday.  The snow caught us by surprise.  Luckily Kiera had her boots in the van.
