Holly, Jolly December '15

I can't believe December is coming to a close, let alone 2015!
In December...

• We went to the O's Christmas party and hosted one here as well. 
• Dan and I had a date night to see the play Aladdin. 
• Nick went on a field trip to see Aladdin and my class went on a field trip to Benjamin Tree Farm.
• I went to my staff party and out with my soccer team to celebrate the season.  
• I went for my annual dinner to Ennio's with M and K. 
• Nathan had his 18 month shots.
• Swimming wrapped up for Nick.
• We traveled to Kingston for an amazing Christmas!  
• We saw Star Wars!
• I had a coffee date with my friend E.
• The B's are coming for New Years Eve tonight!

Wishing everyone an amazing 2016! I'm going to continue reducing carbs (my vice) and I'm determined to read more for fun.

Ribbon Christmas Trees

It's been a while since I shared a craft or teaching activity so here is a super easy craft to wrap up the Christmas season. Pun intended! 

You will need:

• A variety of ribbon (greens/reds/whites) cut a variety of lengths
• Scissors 
• Thick twigs
• Twine/string
• Glue gun

All you do is tie the strings around the twig and leave spaces in between. Make sure the shortest ones are at the top and then they get longer as they go down. You can trim with scissors afterwards. Then glue on the string/twine with hot glue. This would make a great home made gift! I may keep this in mind for next year!

November Time!

Seriously, where is the time going?!

In November...

• We had a date night at Sole with the Matthews.
• We had the G's over for a visit and dinner. It had been a while!
• I went for a girl's lunch with A and a few others. 
• I went for Nick's JK observation. So proud of him! 
• E and I had a few glasses of wine with H to toast her new house! 
• We went to the Santa parade. Brr!
• We had the E's over for dinner. They brought the chili, we did the trimmings. Yum!

Blue eyes, Blue snowsuits, First snowfall

Here's a cute Nick and Nathan comparison that will brighten any day. These were both taken after the first snow fall about 3 years apart. Can you guess who is who?

Gretzky and Wine?!

Christmas parties are coming! I love the season that is upon us. Here is my new favourite white wine that would be a great addition to any party. It's not too sweet and not too dry. And it has Gretzky in the name? Sold! ($14.95 @ the LCBO)

October '15

October was a little bit quieter (at home anyways)...

• I sold pink ribbons with E to support The Canadian Cancer Society at Zehrs. 
• I went to a girl's night at Beertown.
• We had Thanksgiving at home for the first time ever! Tina and my inlaws came up for the weekend. I attempted my first pumpkin pie! Yum! We also went to the Naumann's pumpkin farm that weekend.
• Indoor soccer started up for me!
• Dan split his eyebrow open playing soccer. He needed 7 stitches! 
• We went to Cooper's 4th birthday.
• Halloween happened! School fun, PTC for candy, and Nick went around the neighbourhood. He made it far this year!
