12/25/2011 ~ Merry Christmas
91
For the record YES, I am aware of the true meaning of Christmas but gift giving brings me joy. Before you judge my massive piles of gifts you should know that I am a master sale shopper. Pulling off Christmas the way that I do, is an art. I start sale shopping in January, finish gift buying by the end of August and finish gift wrapping by the end of October. At least, those are my goals. Sometimes I wrap as I go, so I colour code my kid's gift wrap in some way so I can tell the difference. This year, Griffin had the red and blue paper....all reindeer prints. Claire had the burgundy papers...all Santa prints and Lily had the pastel papers...ornament prints. Easy way to tell the difference.
Meema came to spend Christmas with us and slept over on Christmas Eve.
Nonna popped over for a while on Christmas day as well.

11/20/2011 ~ 1st Mohawk Haircut and Hockey Game
56
We won a facebook contest recently for a picture of Claire in her Yoda costume. 3rd place prize was a haircut. Ironically, Claire hardly has any hair still at 2.5 years old so we hauled Griffin's bushy head over to Silly Scissors and he got his first Mohawk today. He wanted it so badly!

Then we headed over to the arena where we met up with Zia, Zio, Nonna and the girls for Griffin and Paul's hockey game. Griffin is the kid with the green laces on his skates and #17 on his Jersey.
11/16/2011 ~ Puck Power with Nonna

Well we did stick with Griffin's Puck Power class on Wednesday mornings and he is enjoying it. Claire goes along to run Nonna ragged while Griffin is on the ice. It is a nice break for me and a nice outing for them.
