Dreyton's 2nd Birthday Party

Our baby is now two, and growing so quick. You can go to the day he was born by clicking here. He loves to read, his favourite book right now is a toddler search and find book. His favourite shows are max and ruby or toopy and binoo or dora and diego. Since Dreyton is now in a toddler bed Zoë mostly gets him when he wakes up from his nap and Dreyton is so sad when she's not there sometimes, they are always following each other around at home. Dreytons favourite foods are perogies, and hot dogs.

My sister-in-law Erin and I made sports themed cupcakes the night before the party.

Dreyton was a pro unwrapping presents.



We set up my moms inflatable bouncer in the play room.

Christmas

We had a very busy and fun Christmas. We spent the morning with my family and had a morning brunch, then went to Lee's family in the afternoon for an early ham dinner. Our kids got super spoiled from everybody, and maybe Lee and I did a little bit too.

My kids love helping me in the kitchen. They made brownies for a get together at my parents place the other day, taking turns putting each ingredient in. They were very excited to get a picture taken and show the results.

Work Adult Christmas Party

This weekend we went to an adult Christmas party for Lee's firm in Banff. We had the kids stay at Grandma and Papa's house while we went early to spend some more time there. We went and got a couple's massage and then went shopping for a bit before heading to the hotel. The hotel we stayed at was called the Rimrock hotel which was a very nice hotel, we got one of the executive suites which was huge.

In the evening we had a fancy dinner and a dance. It was nice to meet alot of the people Lee works with. It was a weird mix of LDS members and non-members with an open bar. In the morning they had a huge brunch for us before heading out.

Work Christmas Party

Lee's work had there kids Christmas Party last week at C.O.P. They had lunch, crafts, and then at the end Santa came and gave them presents. Both kids were really good with Santa, Zoë was super excited and Dreyton didn't have a problem going straight to him.
The cameraman kept trying to get Dreyton to smile but as soon as Dreyton started smiling he would look at Santa and give a huge smile and then stop and look back at the camera and give a blank look.



Zoë got a pink backpack which held a puppy on the back of it and Dreyton got a circus playmobil set.
This weekend is our adult Christmas party in Banff at the rimrock hotel, i'll post about that afterwards.

Horsy Ride

The kids going for a horsy ride on Uncle Brook/Daddy

I decided to make a vegetable platter up a little while ago to keep in the fridge and apparently my kids think it's a special treat. This is Dreyton in the corner trying to hide from me so I can't see him eating his "special" treats.
