I cannot believe how quickly Christmas is approaching! I'm definitely excited to be done work and spend some much needed quality time with my two favourite boys and the rest of our families. The last week of school was a busy and tiring one, trying to keep kids entertained and do some relatively productive work too. With the deep freeze we are in, we had many indoor recesses, which is needed to stay safe out of the cold, but is also really hard on the kids being "cooped up" inside all day! I was spoiled by my class this year and received many lovely gifts from them! On Thursday after work, I went to our staff Christmas party. We met at Original Joe's for drinks and dinner... definitely a lot of fun! Many laughs had by all!!
On Saturday morning, we braved the cold and headed out to Spruce Grove to do a bit of last-minute shopping. We took Colby to see Santa again and it went much like the first attempt... not well. We did end up getting a picture from 2008 (the first one they snapped very quickly before the full-blown screaming!) Poor little guy... not so jolly meeting Santa Claus at the age of 1, I guess! We went to Joe and Tara's last night for a Christmas party and had a lot of fun! It's so nice to get together with friends who have kids so that Colby is entertained! All of the kids played really well together and Colby stayed up playing until we left at 10:30. I know, I know, night owls!! He crashed on the way home and transferred to PJ's and bed without waking up when we got home!! Sleepy boy!! My mom and I did some Christmas baking today at our house, which was a lot of fun. We don't get to spend a lot of time together anymore it seems, so I really enjoyed myself! Now the trick is to not eat all of it before Christmas!! :)
I'm really looking forward to the next couple of days, as Colby and I are not up to a whole lot Monday or Tuesday. I have a few errands to do around town and would like to see Jen at some point in the city too before we head out on Wednesday morning. Looking forward to spending time with Colby and not leaving the house at 7 am for a couple of weeks!!
Take care everyone! Try and stay warm during these few days before Christmas! It's definitely going to be a White Christmas, which I love!! Wishing everyone a safe and blessed Christmas filled with love, laughter and happiness! Merry Christmas, everyone!
Love,
Lesley, Gerry and Colby
