Ack! I can't believe I didn't write at all during December! Well, okay, I actually can believe it. Lots of stuff going on, and little I could blog about since I had to be a bit stealthy about one aspect of my life. You see, Friday is my last day of work at my current company, I'm starting a new job on Monday. But I don't want to talk about that yet, I'll talk about it after I start! Now, I want to recap our holidays!
We had a white Christmas this year in Canada - we split our time between Edmonton and Red Deer, where the Omands & McLeod's hail from. We had a blast! Audrey was definitely taken aback at the zero-degree temps, but she quickly acclimated and realized so long as she had a hat and mittens on, she could have just as much fun! And of course, Christmas was a day of chaos, gluttony and Leap Frog toys. I'm surprised we didn't go over our luggage weight limits coming back! But we made it, albeit a day late due to a mechanical issue. Our fun surprise when we got back to our car, however, was that we left a 3/4 full sippy cup of milk in the car for the week we were gone. It had turned into a lovely blob of cheeze, and made the Subaru smell quite nasty.

"Wow, Santa went all out..."
Yes, it's true, Santa didn't want to make Audrey anything too big so she could take it back to CA easily, so he got her some die cast Pixar cars (the elves tested it for lead)
"My stocking is stuffed!"
"Oh Santa, I love my cars, thank you for calling!"
"This one's for me!!"
After the rest of the extended family showed up, the present chaos ensued for about an hour. Everyone was thoroughly spoiled!!

"BYE!!"
When Audrey opened this dress, she immediately began taking off her red dress so she could put this outfit on. I've got a real girly girl! Then she proceeded to pick up her purse and wave and say "BYE!" to everyone while walking out of the room. A girl's got things to do!!
Summer (2 1/2) and Audrey hanging out on the Bugs Bunny Chair...
They had a lot of fun with it!
Another big hit of the weekend were the dancing Snowmen...Audrey would have to grab their noses when they sang Jingle Bells!
And here we are, braving the cold at the ice sculpture park, where they had a slide of ice!!
Whew, that's it! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season!!
