Happy Holidays!

Well if Aislin didn't know who Santa was before she sure does now!
We had the greatest Christmas, seeing it through a child's eyes..something that hasn't happened around here in a long time! We travelled to Cape Breton and stayed up really late on Christmas Eve, Aislin was up until midnight...the Christmas carolling got her so excited and all the commotion she was wide eyed!!

Aislin, John and I opened stockings first in bed...my favorite part! Aislin seemed to really like it too, she got a ball in her stocking and said "WOW...WOW...BALL...BALL...WOW!"

Then out to the living room to look at what Santa brought..she didn't get as overwhelmed as I thought she might. But once the first present of hers was opened we lost her...she didn't care about anything else! So once she was ready to move on, we continued to open her presents! She got some really wonderful gifts from her brother and sister and Grammy and Grampy...she was spoiled of course, but not too much (meaning it all fit in the truck for the long treck back to Amherst!). We sat down for breakfast to Lobster eggs benedict, one of my favorite traditions! Then back to the toys! It was such an amazing Christmas, the best one I've ever had. I love my life!

Santa is Coming!!!

John's work had a Christmas party for the kids with the big man himself making an appearance!!! Aislin wasn't too sure about him but sat on his lap for a half of a second! His company went out of their way for the children, having a build a bear, the kids got to stuff their very own reindeer and presents from Santa!

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY!

Today is Aislin's 2nd birthday! We had her party yesterday, what a great time. She was so excited about it all! she kept saying "WOW, WOW".....it was a bit overwhelming for her at times but she'd take a minute, compose herself and go right back to running around playing with her new toys! When she woke up from her nap she was so excited that everything was still there!

Winter Fun!

We had our first adventure in the snow! She cried like she was broken hearted when it was time to go in...she had a ball...she'd run..fall...run...fall..run...fall...bust a lip...get back up....run...fall!

Later that morning we saw Grampy on the Christmas Daddie's Telethon! She was quite tickled to see her Grampy on TV!
