We didn’t buy them too much gifts this year. Just a couple of books and one toy each that the “Santa” left and some hand me down toys from friends are all they got. We’re trying to teach them the value of things that we have and most importantly the true meaning of Christmas.

Me: Guys, do you know what Christmas is?
Chloe: it’s Jesus’s birthday!
Shane: Presents!

We bought a beautiful photograph from a local artist.

We also walked through the Parc Mount Royal in the city for a scenic walk.

This was one of the most memorable trips we took as a couple. We realized how much we needed this. It’s been a while since it was just us twos and it really gave us chance to take a breath and review our relationship and talk (more importantly, listen) to each other.

I’m looking forward to many more trips like this…

Thank you so so so much to our wonderful friends, R & D who offered to babysit the kids so  we could take this trip. We had no doubts that the kids were in good hands… Your friendship means the world to us.

I got a new mixer last Friday and since then I’ve been making all kinds of smoothies for the family.

Andrew came back from his business trip with lots of presents for me and the kids. It’s been a long week for me without him and we’re very happy to have him back. :)

I took Chloe to Madison Square Garden for a Disney Princess on Ice show this morning. We had  a great date. She had her first subway experience getting there too. This evening when she prayed, she said, “Dear God, … thank you for mommy and the princess on ice show and Ariel barbie…I pray for mommy so she can get well rest tonight…”

How great is she!
