A Christmas Carol

Last Saturday, we attended the housewarming/holiday party at Euan's new work digs. They had just moved the company in the week before and they are still doing contruction around them but the space looks pretty fabulous.

This is Charles Dickens greeting the guests. He gave an abridged reading of The Christmas Carol later on but we didn't think the kids would sit through it.

A view from the second floor onto a "work" area.

Lots of cookies and cakes for the kiddies (and the grown-ups too.)

It's been nice having Euan working closer to home. He drove the kids to school last week and came to my rescue when I locked my keys inside my car outside of Starbucks. He's even walked to work a couple of times. Now let's see if he keeps it up!

Snakes & Snails & Puppy dog tails...

Last week before is got so very cold here, we had a picnic lunch outdoors. After the lunch, the boys spent some time investigating the bug life under rocks. They are such boys. This pictures reminded me of....

this picture from our first spring in Vancouver. They were two and bit. So cute!

Aidan's first lost tooth

Yesterday during school, Aidan lost his first tooth. He was so excited and proud! His new one isn't growing in yet so he has a cute gap. They are getting so big!

There he goes

Over Thanksgiving weekend, Conner made the big transition to the two-wheeler bike. No more training wheels and he hasn't looked back since! So Proud!

The Sword in the Stone

We went into Disneyland Park the evening we arrived to check out the holiday decorations. It was very crowded. We headed straight to Fantasyland and the King Arthur Carousel. This is one of the boys favorite rides (I wonder how long that will last). Luckily it is also one that never has a line. They tried in vain to pull the sword out of the stone in front of the ride. But no luck. Not a true king among us.

Coincidentally, we had borrowed the old Disney movie "The Sword in the Stone" from the library to watch on the car ride home. They watched this and "Wall-E" and of the two seemed to enjoy "The Sword in the Stone" much more. Oldies are goodies.

Lilo and Stitch Breakfast

We decided since it was the boys birthday they should have a character meal. We couldn't get into Goofy's Kitchen so the morning we left, we attended the Lilo and Stitch breakfast in our hotel. A bit on the pricey side but the kids had a lot of fun.

Vision from the future?

I have a strange feeling that this may be a reality in about 10 years!
