Christmas Eve

 

We had our family Christmas party on Saturday. My sister brought two bags of silly holiday glasses and headbands which we all wore!

This is my daughter's family. It's almost impossible to get them all together for a picture so I was pretty happy to snap a picture of them! 


It was my granddaughter, Abigail's, third birthday last week as well!

She celebrated in style wearing not one but two tutus!




My daughter and son-in-law always make their house look so festive!


Verne and Abigail came to spend the night at my house on Wednesday!

I had already decorated my Christmas tree but had saved a few ornaments for them to hang.


Verne did a little rearranging...apparently, I didn't have enough hanging from the bottom of the tree.


After all of his hard work he laid back in my husband's chair to relax and watch Frosty the Snowman.


Thursday morning we had blueberry waffles for breakfast.

Then we put on our hats and mittens and went for a walk around the corner to the toy store and mailed a letter to Santa in the special "North Pole" mail box.


Merry Christmas to all

and God bless us, everyone!

Abby and Hopie time

  ~ ~ ~ Abby and Hopie go to the beach. On Saturday my granddaughter, Abigail, asked if she could come to her Hopie's house all by herself. Of course, I said I would love that! Her older brother, Verne, wanted to go to a friend's house and her younger sister, Natalie, is too young to be away from mum for an overnighter. So...it was me and Abigail for the weekend. She wanted to stay 2 nights! I think she may have been slightly motivated by the need for some alone time and Natalie's late night crying. ~ We cooked homemade cornmeal waffles together for breakfast. When your grandmother is a Montessori teacher you learn to cut your waffles up by yourself. You can see the concentration on her face.  I didn't help at all! Verne's first day of Kindergarten! I drove up in the morning to watch him get on the bus! He loves it! On Monday morning Abigail and I drove back up to her house. My daughter, Hannah, came over with delicious donuts and Bonnie made a breakfast of bacon, s

a basket from the farmer's market

  A basket from the farmer's market. When I was a child my mum always had a fruit basket on the kitchen table.  Fruit was always an option if we were hungry at any time during the day. I had the same when my children were young and I noticed while visiting my daughter last week that she had a basket of apples on her table for her children. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree... I tend to put a basket of vegetables on the table as well.  Root veggies mostly since they don't need to be refrigerated.  I think that they look beautiful and why should fruit have all the fun! My favourite part is that everything (even the basket) came from the local farmer's market. It's so important to support local farmers.

 ~ ~ ~ A bit of reading material.  I've been collecting books again... I've almost finished Think Indigenous.  My daughter bought it as a gift for me but decided to read it first. She loved it so much it took her a bit to part with it. I am loving it as much as she did and have put it down almost all the way through  because I don't want it to be over.  Macro tex
