We drove to Halifax for the holidays. We left just before the big storm... barely. It was beginning as we drove out. Thankfully we drove out of it before lunch; it was enough of a trip without having lots of snow driving! You see, Michael caught the tummy flu from the girls the day before we left... so our trip took a bit longer than expected, making the decision to do it in one day through Maine look rather a bad idea. We're taking two days to go back :o)

We're much enjoying our holidays here...

The weekend of Aunty Ruth's birthday we had a special Sunday birthday breakfast. Uncle Jamie made the plates special with a drizzle of chocolate sauce. Grace thought that was a great beginning to the day! She wasn't that interested in the rest of the food until it was all gone from her plate.Notice also the colored-on place mat. Imma gave us each a colorable place mat to fill up over the holidays. We all had fun with that at various meals.

The girls really like Imma and Abba's house - I think there are more toys here than at our house! On top of that, Imma was able to borrow an indoor slide for the really cold days... It gets used alot! Thankyou Imma!


Christmas morning before presents we had a story telling and a song time to remember exactly why we were celebrating. Here is Imma telling the story with pictures to Grace and Jasmin. Unfortunately they were more interested in the drawing bit than the story. But later she made a short little book which they did really enjoy and took in much better.


The girls' main gifts were dolls and strollers. A very big hit! They spent the rest of the morning zooming Ju-En and Kar-En around the house. Grace immediately wanted to give Kar-En a bath and was puzzled by her sewn-on pants and shoes. She couldn't give her a bath like that!
Jamie's gift to everyone was a cooking/baking session together. He is doing a baking course at NSCC and can bake some fabulous things now. Here we are in proper jackets about to begin making spring rolls. They were yummy - only one lasted until the next day :o)
More later, no doubt.
