2-3 Sleeps to go...




Until our Christmas holidays...and opening gifts from Santa! Can't wait to see Drayden's face even if he's though he's young and won't really understand. I think Christmas is more for the parents than anything else. I can just see myself get all emotional about it. I took pictures of our tree but keep forgetting my camera to post it. The best gift of all would be if Drayden could start walking. I mean he's almost there but not quite...Hopefully his new walking shoes will help a little. Poor kid; he's one of the tallest (for his age) in his daycare group and still not walking. Lazy little bugger.

It's going to be quite busy over the holidays (even if I have to work a few days in between) I work on the 24th...then go straight to my mom's for dinner and the next day we'll do our little family thing then we go to Derek's parents. The 26th is the Bouchard Family Reunion and a few more little visits from friends in between. So even with being busy and running a little late, I'm all ready to go...decorating, shopping, wrapping, baking etc. Santa here we come.


Wishing all of you a Merry Christmas!

December...off to a great start???

It's finally December and there's barely any snow. Trust me I'm not complaining but the cold winds that we've had lately is absolutely insane. Terra and I worked an event last night and almost got blown away with our things by the vicious wind, not to mention the "almost" frost bite on our ears. All to find out that we parked Terra's car in an underground parking that closes at 9pm. It was 10:30 at night in the freezing cold, downtown Ottawa with event "gear" and no car. (I know your laughing...because it is funny but ...not at the time). So we called Derek to pick us up and had uncle Nick babysit Drayden. Poor us...Terra's stuff was in the car as well as some of mine like my make-up for the next day. GRRR...it was frustrating...but funny. It didn't stop there though...Terra was supposed to meet me at my place for 7am to car pool to work since her car was still in underground parking...And Nick's car overheated. LOL so she called me and asked me to pick her up and luckily I didn't need to in the end because they borrowed Nick's mom's van. All the while, Nick left the water running in the kitchen at their place and had a mess to clean when he fell slipping on water. Sorry Nicko-lai-lei but that's funny! It's obviously been a rough couple of days but makes for great stories. By the way...Derek got Terra's car from underground parking after work...since it was in the same building and it only cost 17$. WHAT a DEAL!!!

So the lesson in all of that is...READ the sign before you enter in a parking lot.

Have a great night.
