Shopping cart

Yes, Claire just got a whole bunch of toys for Christmas, but when I saw this shopping cart, I couldn't resist. She looked so cute pushing it around the house.

Oh-uh, clean up in aisle 5 please.
And she's off to get the deals.

Shopping with her baby ofcourse.

This is fun!

Family Xmas's

It was a busy Christmas. So busy in fact, that we failed to get many pictures. Here are the few we did get. First we saw Anthony's family.

Here are Claire, Adam and I. Right after this photo, Claire took a swipe at Adam. She wasn't too happy seeing her Mommy holding another baby.

Ryan enjoying the excavator we (or should I say Anthony) got him for Christmas. Zio stole all the credit for this one.

A group shot minus Isaac.

And then we spent some time with my family at my sister's new house. Here are some photos of the kids opening their gifts.

Isaac and Claire.

Mya and Thaina.

Ben stopped and posed.

Claire getting her chair ready for dinner.

Then she decided she would rather be at the head of the table.

There was lots to eat and we enjoyed ourselves!

Christmas Morning

Santa got Claire a sling bookcase full of new books. She ran to it right away and started grabbing the books and asking us to read to her.

I can`t believe how much she loves books. It`s great!

And to go nicely with her books, we got her a comfy chair for her to sit and read her books. You can see the joy on her face.

She felt like such a queen in her very own throne. Isaac is her servant.

She also got a great table & chair set from grandma & grandpa, uncle Marc, aunt Joanne, Ryan & Adam. She loved it!

Isaac helped her tuck in her chair.

And grabbed a seat across from her.

She also got the Little People Farm set from her cousin Thaiana, aunt Natalie and uncle Antonio. She loves farm animals and can make almost all the sounds.

She had lots of fun putting the animals in the barn.

Isaac getting ready to open his stocking.

Checking out all the goodies. His favourite thing was probably the itunes gift cards. Now he can download all the songs he likes!

For his gifts we did a Star Wars theme - animated series and movie, puzzles, games, everything! And Santa got him a lego set. He was very happy.

Daddy liked the christmas ornament Claire got him. We`ll put it on the tree next year.

All in all, a good Christmas. After spending the morning opening gifts, it can be a little upsetting when there`s no more presents left to open.

And you also build up a hunger. Claire trying to eat the goodies in Isaac`s stocking.

Some pictures in front of the tree.

And remember last year.

They sure do grow up fast. I love my babies.

Again, remember last year.

We`re looking forward to 2010!

Christmas Eve

We had a nice Christmas eve. After church we headed home to make cookies for Santa. Here`s Claire posing with her cookie.

Doing some quality control taste testing.

And the sugar rush kicks in.

Isaac giving Claire some help on her pony. She got this for Christmas last year from my cousins.

She`s big enough for it now and really enjoys it.

All tired out and having a bottle. Santa will be here in no time!

Work Party

I brought the kids to work with me today. We had a fun gingerbread decorating contest and everyone brought in their kids. They had lots of fun and liked seeing Mommy's new office. Here are some pictures.

Claire enjoyed following Ryan around and doing everything he did.

Isaac posing like Justin Bieber.

Claire looking "angelic".

All she wanted to do was write on the white board.

And an always cute baby Adam.
