Advent Tidbits

Making peppermint creames... without any peppermint.  And actually, they taste really good - better than what we remember our last pepperminty ones tasting!
After an afternoon of puddle-jumping and Christmas shopping, Aiden fell asleep in the car.  Mommy cruelly woke him up when we got home, not wanting him up late.  It didn't work. He came in, sat down, and was out again.  We left him, hoping the awkward position would wake him up. Nope. He slid down and slept on the step for another half and hour! 

A tradition from the Fraser side: painted windows!  This year, too impatient to wait for Mom, this is what the kids did themselves.  Fantastic job! (Never mind the paint on the curtain and the floor...)














We had a "first Christmas" with family in Toronto this weekend.  Today, playing with his lego, Aiden kept making towers as presents for everyone and asking longingly when Friday was coming so "we have more presents" - I guess he knows Christmas means presents now! Hopefully the advent stories we've been telling will stick with him too. And the "shepherds running fast to see the baby king at last" does show up in his playing.
