Christmas is over but here are a few of our favourite things:
Cross country skis from G&G Fletcher
Big girl camera from G Rees and bunny ears provided by Uncle Stefan.
“best Christmas ever!!” -provided by Momma and Daddy. I finally tracked down a Littlest Pet Shop Animal Rescue Centre -or amnimal hosipal 🙂
Momma got a nice big new bundt pan, it’s by Nordicware which is the best pan company if you ask me. Can’t wait to get back to baking.
And to go along with my new pan, my sister picked up a whole whack of Pam for baking. It has flour in the spray and is perfect for fancy shaped bundt pans. It’s also impossible to buy in Ontario, so Belinda bought a bunch when they were in the States Christmas shopping. Along with the Pam I also got a whole case of my guilty pleasure -Cherry Coke. Yummm! It’s also something I can’t get here in Ontario.
Of all Daddy’s presents, I think the ‘funny’ present was his favourite. I got him this ‘Elmer Fudd’ hat from Princess Auto, it was kind of a joke, but mostly a ‘it’ll keep him warm regardless of how it looks’ type gift. But he loves it and I think it looks pretty good on him. Colin says it will be great this winter/spring when he starts cleaning seed again.
Finally I want to share a picture of our Christmas tree. We haven’t had the 
heart to take it down yet and here’s why:
Our tree is growing. We have new branches about 2 inches long. I’ve had trees start to bud before but nothing like this. It’s amazing.
At Home With Us 
What great pictures! I certainly enjoyed reading about your Christmas.
I used to get so excited abut the first snow that I did just what Ella did – try on my skiis in the house! And my shepherd’s winter hat was a lot like Colin’s – it was blue Cookie Monster fur and it was warm.
It was funny Christmas day at the in-laws. The kids were in the living room and the adults were still sitting around the kitchen table, when out slides Ella ‘skiing’ across Grandma Isobel’s hardwood floor. I wish I had had the camera then, she was so proud of herself!
