Christmas cards
Christmas cards have been collated, stuffed, addressed, and are heading to Canada Post tomorrow. Don took our family photo and we went with a simple scrapbooking style of card this year.

Crafts and baked goods
Caleb and Liana have made paper snowflakes, build a foam Christmas house, grown a Santa, baked cupcakes, etc as activities offered via our homemade advent calendar. They've also done some additional projects just because.

Evelyn meets Santa
While shopping with Becka at Place d'Orleans this week Evelyn got to meet Santa Clause. I recommend this Santa: looks genuine, is soft spoken and gentle with babies.
Holiday parties
Saturday was a Christmas party double feature. First, Caleb, Evelyn and I went to Dashing Through the Snow, a kids' party hosted by a local parenting group I'm a member of (Moms and Dads with Monkeys). It took place at Fallowfield Tree Farm and features a pizza dinner, crafts, wagon and horse wagon rides, and a bonfire. Then we went to Dan and Roya's annual Christmas party at which Evelyn soaked baby Ronin's change station twice over. Darcy joined us later in the night as he was busy being a top 8 winner at the Wizard Tower's M:tG fundraiser for CHEO.

First Evelyn home video
Sadly this morning was the first time I took a video of Evelyn but happily the video is awesome. Darcy was playing fetch with Dexter and Evelyn thought Dex chasing a toy was hilarious. She had been giggling five minutes of so before the video was taken, too. We've watched the video several times today already.
Miscellaneous pictures
Glad one of the photos was usable! :)
