Christmas Day

 It finally came!

We tried but couldn't find croissants for breakfast. Good thing I had leftover chocolate cake..

After Spiderman, Rubikscubes, Squishmallows and video games, we got socks! Thank you everyone!

Christmas Eve

 We had our tradictional Christmas Eve at church with Special's family. 

Believe it or not, Zack had been waiting for this moment (being pushed in the chair) all year!

Uncle Dave and Aunt Alli missed most of the fun as Uncle Dave broke his nose playing basketball with his nieces and nephews...

Ready for Christmas?

 We've been getting ready for Christmas by cleaning, baking and singing.

Ryan is still in his gingerbread man phase..He went to the traditional Pikatou show for the first time this year (as it was canceled last year, of course..)

He went twice (with the school and then at night, with Kelden, Julia and I.) We also attended Zack and Kelden's little Christmas concert. Sorry, Kelden's video is too big.

And today was Zack and Ryan's school concert. 

The best number was the one by the teachers but it's too long..

Advent

 At the catholic schools, they celebrate the last month before Christmas by lighting 4 candles on a wreath, (4 for each week, so we lit the first one last Monday.) This is not one of our traditions but Mondays are always special as we have our "home evening" and last Monday we were invited to spend it with some cousins. Auntie Becca cooked for us and prepared a lesson, with games, on the symbols of Christmas/Jesus.

Thank you!
