Presents!

Macie did very good for her 1st time opening presents. She started right off ripping at the 1st present and was very surprised to find a cool ball toy inside....but that is where we lost her. She had no desire to open up any more presents. But with a little coaxing and Belle and Nathaniel doing most...okay all of the work, the rest of the presents were opened. She received Books from the Sketchleys, Clothes from Lolo, the Fishers, and Lola and Tita . Mom and Dad gave her a Megablocks Musical farm and From Belle, Nathaniel and Addie, Macie received a Giraffe ball toy. She really enjoyed the evening. Christmas morning is really going to be fun!

Lets Eat Cake

It was chocolate...icing and all. And it was nummy. Auntie Anne was a little....okay a lot worried that I was eating chocolate cake in my pretty pink dress. But mom was not worried....I had a bib. And I did really good considering. Mom did have to wash my dress because I got a little chocolate on the sleeve...but overall I did great. .....oh was it nummy!

Look Who's One!

My how things have changed in a year! She went from this sweet little new born to an active, bright eyed sweetheart. It was so much fun celebrating with her today. Check out the next couple of posts about today.

Can't forget Macie's 1st snow experience

This was yesterday afternoon just after the snow started. After her nap, Addie took and bundled Macie up to take her outside. She had a lot of fun looking out the window to watch Belle and Nathaniel playing in the snow, so out she went. I wasn't so much fun when she was out in the cold. So back in she came to watch out the window.

Let it Snow, Let It Snow...and snow and snow..........

It started snowing on Saturday morning and didn't stop! Not something too unusual unless you add the fact that this is the Lower Mainland and we are not suppose to get any snow let alone this much snow. By Sunday morning church was canceled and there was enough snow to make a family of snow men. Or as Belle and Nathaniel built...Daddy snowman, Mommy snowman, Nathaniel snowman and Addie snowman....then they got bored and started building snow forts. It was cute watching them build the mommy and the daddy as they were trying to get them to hold hands. But gave up when no matter how hard they tired they couldn't get the stick to reach and the snowball put between them to look like hands would not stay. The daddy snowman Ramon had to fix as it had no hair, so he dug in the snow and found some leaves and put them on the daddy snowman so he had some hair.
Addie popped out for a short snowball fight, until dad took and got her with a snow shovel of snow, then it wasn't so fun.
Ramon ended his time outside shoveling the driveway by dropping in the snow and making a snow angel. Gee, you would think that he never had snow growing up? hehehe
They all had a great day playing out in the snow, but it wont last as the Pineapple express is on its way and should be starting any time now, giving us about a 100mm of rain in a 24 hour block. so tomorrows post.....how we survived the flood!
