Holiday Season

The festivities for the holidays have already begun and if I don't keep up to date on the blogs, it'll seem to overwhelming to post about them all.

December 5th was Maddy's second Sinter Klaas. We almost missed the correct night to put her clogs by the fire place. Luckily we saw just in time and put them on the hearth just after she went to bed. Maddy must have been a good girl this year because Sinter Klaas and Swarte Piet paid her a visit. It's fun because this year she can help to rip the wrapping paper a little, although she does have a very short attention span and usually we have to finish opening the rest of it.



Over the weekend the cousins on the Lee-Young side of the family had a gift exchange for the kids. There are so many children that this year we drew names for the kids as well. Joanne, Philip and the girls hosted the get together at their house and it was fun to see everyone again. The very first grandchild on the Lee-Young side, Jessica, is now in grade 7!! Time sure flies. I remember when she was just Maddy's age. We kept telling her that soon, she'll be able to babysit! It's too bad that we didn't get a photo with all the kids in it. There were just too many to get them all sitting at once. There's always next year!




This afternoon, we went to Sharon, Travis and Nora's for a Christmas playdate. There were so many babies there. Maddy was actually the oldest one there (by two days) and the youngest one was 6 weeks old. I forgot to bring my camera so I didn't get any pictures but hopefully Sharon will have some up of their blog. Thanks for hosting you guys! Sharon, I'll have to get that recipe for those yummy cheese melts.
