Happy second birthday Oscar!

Our little guy is getting bigger!!!  Oscar turned 2 on Sunday, and it was exciting to all of us...maybe more to his big brothers even (who were ramped up all week long as we got ready, bought gifts, etc).  Ozzie's buddy Gray, from school, came for snacks, play, and cake on Sunday afternoon, along with his sister Eden (who used to be in Otis' class, and is his good friend).

Ozzie loves trucks, so a construction cake was an easy choice for his bday.  The big guys had a great time helping to do the decorating with mom.  Ozzie clearly was impressed.

The boys wanted to get Oscar a fire chief helmet to go with the ride on truck that Santa got him for Christmas.  He clearly appreciated it!!

Daddy and momma spent some time Saturday night with boxes, building a bulldozer for the party.  It was a hit!

An early start

Today got off to an early start, with the boys out shovelling snow at 6 o'clock in the morning. After that we relax for a little bit in the house and then headed up to the ski hill where we met arlos good friend Sam from kindergarten.

Christmas

Christmas Eve

We usually head downtown for some last minute wandering through the Rideau centre and the market area on Christmas Eve.  Of course we finishing with a trip to parliament hill to see the lights.  Last year it was tahirt weather.  This year was warm, but at least we had snow!

Sno-fun

Now that The snow seems like it's here to stay, the boys are having a lot more fun getting outside having adventures.

Big boy bed

A weekend trip to IKEA, and a little bit of taking part of crabs and putting together beds, has resulted in Oscar and his first big boy bed! We painted his room just a couple weeks back, so this completes the transformation for the little guy and he's very excited.

Santa!!!

On a trip to the Carlingwood mall we got a chance to meet Santa in person!  It is early in the season, but we sat down with him to talk about our Christmas wishes.  That was just the start, because the next day we headed downtown to catch the big guy in the Santa clause parade.  It was cold, but also really fun, and they gave us a wack of candy canes!
