Seasonal Display

A quick look at our December/Christmas seasonal display...




Stackable boxes with beads, ribbons, and cookie cutters in them.

Some favourite Christmas stories. We also have a few from the library.

Ornaments that Mya can play with or hang up on her tree.

Mya's tree to decorate. This helps her to leave the real tree alone. She can hang her own ornaments and decorate with the coloured pom pom balls.


A spinning picture display. I filled it with Christmas cards and left one spot for her to display her colouring.

The Seasonal Display area :)
Merry Christmas :)

A Christmas Baking Tradition


Every year my Mom, Aunt, some friends and I get together to bake Christmas goodies in honor of my Grandma, who was a wonderful baker and loved Christmas. We play our favourite Christmas music (Boney M anyone??) and spend the day visiting and creating delicious treats like shortbread, tarts, brownies, sugar cookies, peanut butter marshmallow squares, ginger snaps and chocolate nutcho's. Its a beautiful and fun tradition that I can't wait for Mya to be able to help and understand how special the day is. Merry Christmas everyone, enjoy this wonderful time with your favourite people.

Our first Snowfall

We woke up early one morning to a beautiful surprise. A blanket of snow had fallen gracefully upon our yard. Now, I'm calling this Mya's first snowfall because last year we barely got an inch of snow and Mya was much too young to notice.






Mya enjoyed looking at the snow from inside more than anything. She did manage to put up with about 30 mins of outside time in the cold while we built her a snowman, but she refused to take even one step while standing in it. Maybe next year it will be more of a hit....
