Joy to the world

Could it be Christmas time, already? I've been waiting and waiting so patiently!

I've been a good girl all year, you can even ask my parents. And I sent my letter to Santa last month so I know he must have gotten it.

Heyyyy Dad, you're not Santa!?

Oh, but what's this? The real Santa told you to give this to me? Really?

Thanks Santa-Dad! This will help me on my path to being a veterinarian one day, because I love helping animals and making them feel better.

Mom and Dad, you spent the last two days blowing up all of these balloons, and now I understand why!

Because they're fun, festive, and pretty!

Okay, now that I've calmed down, let me just say Merry Christmas to all of you.

May you have a safe and relaxing Christmas filled with peace, happiness and joy.

Lots of love,
A+K+D

'Tis the season

Hey Arabella! Christmas is just around the corner, and you're counting down the days.

You are incredibly excited, and your list to Santa this year is so long. It's endless!

Now that we're basically into winter, it's time to frolic in the snow. It's time for winter activities.

We'll gladly take advantage of any mild weather to get outside and have some fun.

When it's too dark or chilly we have no choice but to hibernate indoors. But there's always a game, or craft, or something else to keep us occupied.

Anyone up for a rock concert? Arabella loves to perform for a crowd, and she'll ask Kiera and I to sit on the couch while she entertains.

When you're a little older, Bella, you can have the guitar that my Dad gave to me, if you want. You just need to be strong enough to pick it up and hold it!

 

We had some unusually warm days into November, which were awesome. Those nice days were like a beautiful gift. We savoured every minute.

"Say cheese!"

Do you love throwing rocks too? That was officially the last rock-throw of the season.

So let's bring on winter, and hopefully we can get through these cold and dark days ahead.

Thank goodness for Christmas, and everything wonderful that Christmas brings. We had our tree up in early November (as we always do) and it made us feel so happy to see those decorations again. Something about them just satisfies the soul, doesn't it?

Because there's nothing quite like Christmas - the best time of the year!
