Merry Christmas !

Merry Christmas to Everyone and All the Best for 2012!

This Christmas season has been jam-packed. It started with the Toronto Santa Claus parade. Of course, Aidan and his cousins were excited to be interviewed (even briefly) on TV. Then came decorating the house for Christmas and our holiday party. Following that we took the kids to the Bradley Museum for their photo with Santa in the old log cabin. This time Maya wasn't scared and we got a decent photo. Then came an early Christmas celebration at my sister's with the cousins, Aidan's end of year play, and then Christmas Eve at TEMC - they have the best pageant in the city - complete with live animals - including a camel!!!

Finally, Christmas morning came. Aidan and Maya were so excited! They were thrilled with their gifts - Aidan particularly liked his Meccano set from Santa and Maya loved her Rock and Roll Elmo and her almost life-size Minnie Mouse.

The following are some highlights from the season....
