Ry & Katya's baby shower

We had Ryan & Katya's baby shower the other day at my parents house. It was a open house so people came and went throughout the night, which was nice instead of having everyone around at once.


She is so tiny and so cute, very easy baby to take care of.

I made some baby in a baby carriage cupcakes for the shower, Lee taking a picture of me getting ready.

A few of the guests that were at the shower, this is Katya's friend from Russia that lives in Calgary.

She got lots of cute stuff, we never got a picture of Anya in her cute red dress, but you can see a little bit of it with Dayna holding her.

In other news, my sister is PREGNANT :) Dayna is expecting in August, I am so excited for another niece/nephew.

Randoms

Dreyton has an obsession with lining things up in rows. He is always putting the cars at my mom's in a row from smallest to largest.

We have finally been able to meet my newest niece Anya, she is SO cute. Everybody can't get enough of her and the kids can't get enough of Toozik as well.

caramel/chocolate pretzels

Marilyn Smith (my mom's friend), my mom and I made chocolate/caramel pretzels the other day, they are SOO good. Dreyton had lots of fun helping.

Preschool Christmas Party

Zoë had a preschool Christmas party today, they asked the parents to come 15 minutes early so they could sing a few songs to us.

Christmas Crafts

Zoë and Dreyton LOVE doing crafts right now. Their cousins Tighe and Dominic came over and they all painted some cute ornaments for the tree, Dreyton after awhile figured he would have fun painting his face....

I went to the store Michaels the other day to pick up some cute Christmas crafts as they were half off. Zoë and Dreyton have been having a blast making a few different crafts this week.


Today we did sugar cookies and the kids all got to cut them out and decorate their own. We had cousins Jayden and Drew over, as well as friends Saryn and Jaymeson.

Sefcik Christmas Party

My grandma had a Christmas party at her house this year for all her great grandkids that were in town. They had SO much fun and Grandma was very organized, they decorated homemade gingerbread houses, sang Christmas songs, and had a present opening with older toys my grandma had. They also had belgium waffles for lunch which everyone loved as well.

December is here

Today we started listening to Christmas music, doing Christmas crafts, our Christmas decorations and tree are up, and I am now starting to feel the rush of Christmas shopping.

I was able to convince Lee of getting a real Christmas tree this year, I LOVE having a real one, I love the smell and the look of them. When we were picking out our tree from ikea they were all tightly strung up and they looked SO tiny, so we decided to pick the largest one, which still didn't look that big. Once we got home and cut the rope it was WAY bigger, I love it.

I have been really wanting turkey lately, so today I made a small turkey for dinner. While I was cooking, the kids surprised me with an impromptu dress-up dance together, to the Christmas music I was playing.

Dreyton is almost 3, crazy! He is extremely independent, needs to do everything himself. He is very eager to help me when I ask him to do something. He is in a sports class right now which he gets so excited for.
Dreyton was doing a craft in this picture, and he was trying really hard to colour all the letters in the picture. When Dreyton is in the middle of doing something he can have amazing concentration where nobody can break it, especially with anything puzzle related.
