More of December

Chris had his Kids Christmas party on sat at Heritage Park and it was AWESOME!  Hot dogs for lunch(my kids loved it) and a magician and then the Big Guy in Red came for a visit.  Katie LOVES Santa as you will notice in the pictures.  The kids got gifts too.  Kyle got Elmo's Tickling Hands and loves them and Katie got a Groovy Girl doll, dog and an outfit.  She named the doll Dina and the dog Silly.  The kids also did their letters to Santa.  So CUTE!  We are going to mail them out this week.  Also sent off some xmas gifts this past week.  Hope everyone enjoys them.  Chris and I skipped the adult xmas party this year and good thing we did.  Chris was super sick over that weekend.  I had the stomach bug that was going around and Kyle got sick once but Chris must have had something different because he was sick much longer.  All healthy now and thankful for it!  I finally bit the bullet and decorated the house.  Not that I mind decorating early but since Kyle is 2 and anyone with kids knows what that means...Terrible Twos.  I was worried about our tree.  We decided to just put up the shatter proof ornaments this year and also changed the location of the tree.  Hopefully nothing gets broken. 

Today it snowed again...so we decided to make the best of it and take the kids for a sled ride on our cul de sac.  The kids really enjoyed it and then while we were putting up the outside xmas lights Katie asked to ride her bike.  Why not right?  She loved it and did pretty well in the snow.  Kyle then wanted to ride his trike.  My kids are TRUE CANADIANS!!
Also I included a picture of me as a child(please note that I took a picture of the picture with my phone) and I think that Katie and I look a bit alike.  What do you think?
