At the mall...


The children admiring the giant teddy in the Santa display at the mall!!

:)

An annual tradition!!





Every year I take the children to see the train that runs around the Christmas tree in the shoe store window at the mall!  We have done this every year since we moved here in 2002!!  

I love this tradition and I love taking the children to see it - especially Sams face :)  He gets so excited and he is now old enough to remember it each year!!

craft time...


Home made window stickers!!
I found a craft kit at the thrift store that was for making your own window stickers using a special paint that dries and then peels off.  Abby and sam set to work last night and created some....they left them to dry over night and this morning they peeled them off and stuck them to my window :)  

The Muppets



This afternoon we met some good friends at the movie theatre to see the new Muppets Movie :)  Sam and Abby weren't quite sure what to expect as they don't really know the Muppets - they didn't grow up with them.  But they LOVED it :)  It was such a feel good, HAPPY, fun and cheesy movie :)  Full of fun songs and dances and fun silly jokes and lines...farting shoes and really sad, bad jokes....

Just typical Muppet humour...and a little romance too :)  and not JUST Kermit and Miss Piggy :)  

And my favourite line in the movie....'Am I a manly Muppet...or a Muppet of a man'???

lmao!!

Interesting.....

Interesting blog post that you can read BY CLICKING HERE especially relevant after reading my Sons status update last night about how much he hates divorce and seeing how many of his friends agreed.  I think divorce does a great injustice to children - and to yourself.

Friday Fill-ins....

1. One of my favorite things about December is creating so many memories and traditions and 'magic' for my children!!

2. I adore how much my children love seeing all the special ornament(s)!

3. This is what I'm hoping for today/tonight: A relaxing evening at home after our fun afternoon at the movies with friends.

4. Can you believe that noise? The wind is soooo strong tonight.  I don't think I have ever heard it this bad before!

5. Ooh, a new day of JYC tomorrow and a new picture to take in the December tag - and a new window to open in the advent calendar :)   

6. I love to hear Christmas bells  ringing!

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to a quiet evening at home after seeing the Muppets Movie with friends, tomorrow my plans include going to The Festival of Trees, then to Whyte Ave to have a sleigh ride with Santa along Whyte Ave to see the windows and then maybe to the 4Cats open house or maybe we will leave Whyte Ave until NEXT weekend... and Sunday, I want to go to the Greenlands Christmas Gathering!
