Rebecca flew out to spend some time with me right after her semester ended. We had a great time playing with the kids together! We worked on our colours, and asking for things, and painting different things different colours.
Being tidy is more Jacob's strong suit. =)
We went to Saver's and had some fun picking out funny outfits to try on!
She tires easy...
Wesley's last regular game of the season
After the game we headed straight to the church for the Christmas program.
Saturday morning we went to the Farmer's Market downtown
After that we spent the afternoon watching Harry Potter and doing a puzzle!
It was a cozy and perfect day
I threw together a mish mash dinner of leftovers including
some bacon-wrapped asparagus. It was delicious!
On Monday Sarah surprised me by coming into town. I had no idea! Kim picked her up from the airport and I was very happy to see her.
We went to Wes's playoff game and even though they lost
it was a fun game and a great season!
They clapped to congratulate the other team.

We took Jacob and Avalene to the store to pick up some crayons and they were infatuated with the colouring books. So that gave me a great idea of what to get them for Christmas! It works out great for me since I can have them colour while I'm there. =)
Jacob didn't like that I put his bib on Dumbo. He really wanted it off.
I read him the story of Dumbo while he held Dumbo,
then he wanted me to hold the doll while he told me the story.
The cashier at the store game the kids each a candy cane.
They were so excited to eat the "canny!"
Sarah was there to celebrate her 18th birthday with us. Since my parents didn't get to be with her for it I tried to make it extra special for her. We went to her favourite little coffee shop for yummy sandwiches and a mocha shake.
That evening we had friends over. Sarah had a great time and I felt very supported and loved by people who came to spend time with my sister. Bryan and Kim were so sweet to bring special desserts for her. We had BLT's - her favourite!
Here she is after everyone left opening up one
of the only presents she actually had that day!
She loved her PJ's from Rebecca!
It was COLD when we took the kids to the park the next day. We stayed about 10 minutes before we had to seek refuge!
After work on Friday we took off and drove to California. We arrived at about 10:30 that night. I'll resume the holiday activity log in the next post!
