Christmas Day Eve

We drove back from the cabin on Christmas Day to have a nice Christmas Dinner and to open presents with the Stanfords.

Dreyton did not like the wrapping paper on presents, but he loved looking at the toys he got

Jenn and I seriously thinking about starting a new fashion line with our emergency vests we got

The Stanford cousins at Nana and Pop's house


We are at the cabin this year for Christmas, except we are celebrating a day early so Ryan and Katya and my parents can start driving to Utah for Ryan's wedding, so we'll be driving to Calgary Christmas Day to spend with our Stanford side of the family.

Dreyton has lived in this walker while being at the cabin. He is an accident prone and it's not too childproof here. He loves it and can go super fast.

Snow Day

Yesterday there was a huge snowfall in Calgary, so we decided today would be a perfect day for Zoë to play in the snow with us while Dreyton had a nap. She had lots of fun throwing snowballs and trying to walk in the snow.

Nana's Class

While we were going in town we dropped off at Nana's grade 3 class, the kids loved playing with Zoë and Dreyton.

Dreyton has become very good at walking. Here he's walking to one of the kids

My 11 mos old Monkey

I have never had to deal with a climber until now. Zoë was never interested in climbing on couches, or tables etc but Dreyton sure is. The first time I noticed he was going to be a climber was when I was on the computer and looked over in the playroom and see him flying down our huge slide at 10 mos old. The instant I pick him up he's squirming away to climb up me, and I always spot him climbing on the small table and chairs or climbing up my couches.

This is the age where it's near impossible to change a diaper or change there clothes since they're squirming so much, near to impossible to read a book since they're trying to rip all the pages or climb on you to get behind the couch, and near to impossible to not have food smeared in every place they could possibly imagine during meals. On the other hand it's also the best age as they have so much to see and play with and nothings boring, and they're learning many new things. Also with my two kids this is the age where they sleep through the night.
