Yesterday we headed over to Greg's dad and stepmom's place to celebrate Christmas. It was the first official Christmas celebration that we went to and both kids were super excited. I am glad they had a great time because we have 6 more to go!!!
Trying to get a good photo of the girls before we left. It didn't turn out so well - as you can see. I am really glad that the dress Penelope is wearing still fits her. We bought this summer in the States for her to wear to Kristen's wedding. It fits really well and still might fit for Easter too!! Finley's I bought on the Mahogany + SE Calgary Buy N Sell site. The skirt was a 3 and the top was a 4 both from the Children's Place so I thought we would be ok but the top was too short so her belly constantly stuck out. I have to find something for her to put underneath by Christmas Day when she wears it again so her belly isn't constantly sticking out.
The dining room table all ready for Christmas dinner. Jen had just bought the red chargers that morning. I love them - I absolutely need a set for my house!!! The table looked really good!
Penelope giving Uncle Aaron a big hug
Looking outside for bunnies
Playing the piano. Finley did not like the idea of having to share playing time with her sister.
Playing with Uncle Neil's old dolls
Penelope checking out the presents
Finley waiting under the stockings watching Uncle Neil play his video game. Santa came early and left some presents for us
All Christmas'd out???
Tormenting Grandpa by trying to empty the tupperware out of the cupboard. Check out the new stove in the background. It's magnetic induction or something like that. Basically the stove top is all magnetic so you never ever burn yourself. It's really cool. And the bottom of it is a warmer instead of storage for cookie sheets and stuff. They also got a new fridge that I want in black!!
Finley and Grandpa Don playing with the advent calendar.
The Christmas Tree all lit up full of presents!
Finley and Penelope gobbling up the french bread. Having white bed is like most kids having sugar. They absolutely LOVE it. It's a special treat when all they get is whole grain at home
The Christmas Crackers this year had magic tricks in them. Finley loved them but soon figured this one trick out. Check out the hats - Finley loved hers this year - she loved her crown!
Time to open Christmas Stockings. The girls were SO excited!
Finley playing with her new spinning top. I am having trouble getting it to spin properly. I suck!

All done for the night!!
