Lights at the Legislature

Our family has FINALLY overcome our battle with whatever the crazy virus was that tore through our household.  We had a week full of normalcy with no hospital trips or vomiting or sleepless nights.

For Family Home Evening on Monday night Allan thought that we should take advantage of the unusually warm weather and take a trip to the Legislature building downtown.  The grounds were lit up beautifully and there was so much room to run and play.  The Nutcracker Suite was playing loudly over the outdoor speakers and it felt so magical to watch my very own little sugar plum fairies leap and dance from place to place.

One of the kids' favorite past times right now is shovelling.  The other day they spent half an hour trying to get our driveway cleared so that Daddy wouldn't have to do it when he got home.

Emma had her kindergarten Christmas party on Friday and it was my first opportunity to help out in her classroom.  It was so much fun to see how she interacts with her friends and teacher and to get to know them a little bit better.  Emma is such a bright little thing and loves to learn.

Emma insisted on having her hair curled and wearing one of her fanciest dresses

We were responsible for baked goodies so I made these cute cupcakes
