'Tis the Season!
Merry Belated Christmas, everyone, and an early Happy New Year! I hope that everyone's Christmas was bright and joyous and that the coming New Year brings peace, health and much love to you and your loved ones. I just wanted to share a few of our Christmas photos, I hope you will indulge me.

The Big Snow
I sit here in the kitchen with Calder on my lap looking out our patio doors and see nothing but our back neighbours' snow-covered house and snow drifts everywhere. I love it!! It's been great staying in all day, instead of running around doing errands. Yes, I know it's the Christmas season and I probably could have gotten more shopping done today, but I am not going to stress about it. It's been a fun and relaxing day, starting with yummy banana pancakes (Calder loves them) by the Christmas tree in the morning and just now finishing off with some fun in the snow.
Here are a few pictures from today - Calder looking out the window in all the snow to his first real experience with snow in his new snow pants. He liked it for the most part, except when the wind blew snow in his face. That he didn't like. I hope everyone is having a wonderful snowy day!!

More pictures
As promised, I said I would add some more pictures from last week.
Here are some pictures from Calder's Grandpa's birthday celebration last Saturday. Calder had such a fun time!
He couldn't wait for dinner, so he had a little snack of a banana with Avo.
Checking himself out in the mirror. It was so cute - he was waving to the reflection.
His cousin Peter put on a Dora game and Calder had a BLAST!! Doh!!!!!! (Calder-speak for Dora) If Calder could say thank-you, he'd say, Thank you cousin Peter!!
Blowing out the candles on Grandpa's cake with Grandpa and cousins Peter and Olivia.
Last Sunday we put up our Christmas tree and I just had to snap a picture of Calder and Daddy together. I have to be quick these days, as Calder moves so much and is apt to not smile if I don't get it on the fly, so forgive the photo! They're not centered!
On Sunday we also went to a Marlies game at the Ricoh Centre. It was Gary, myself, Calder and Calder's Uncle Walter and cousin Peter. This was a joint birthday gift to Peter and Walter. Calder, as some of you may know, loves hockey already, and he had such a fun time at the game. I was so proud of him - he hardly fussed at all. Sometimes I had to walk him around, but he did a great job behaving!! Here is Gary and Calder watching the players skate on the ice before the start of the game. Calder was fascinated.
Here is Mommy and Calder in out seats. :)
Last, but not least, we went to the mall today to get a picture taken with Santa. we waited quite a while - Santa was very busy visiting with children today - but got to see him. :) Calder was tired, he hadn't had a nap at that point, and cried out at first when he was plopped on Santa's lap - but was quickly distracted by some jingling bells by the photographer. I think the photo turned out wonderfully. This photo is from the Photo CD we bought - and I was expecting it to have the neat border on it that the actual photos do, but it doesn't. It's still beautiful nonetheless. :) It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!!!

Quick Pics
Well I am writing this from school as I happen to have access to a few pictures from here, and also it's hard to find a moment to sit down and do this at home. Here are a few pictures from the last week or so. Look for some upcoming pictures of Calder at his Grandpa's birthday party! (those pictures are at home!)
I hope everyone is having a wonderful week.
Hey Mom, I'm just hanging out by the fridge....hmmm..whatcha got there for me? Anything?
Calder loves to climb on the couch now - and peeking over the couch is lots of fun! He just doesn't know yet that he can FALL over the arm of the couch. We have to watch him carefully!
Calder has recently discovered how to put on hats (well, for the most part) and found my hat the other day. This is the result!!
Calder already loves hockey (thanks to Daddy - oh and we also went to a Marlies game last weekend!) and loves playing a hockey game online. When he gets a goal, he raises his hands in the air - "score!"
