Ready to hang stockings on Christmas Eve, all decked out in their new pajamas

Opening their first gift on Christmas Day

Enjoying their new kitchen.

Hanging with Daddy on Christmas morning ... note the garbage truck next to Thomas, Santa remembered that that was all Thomas has mentioned for the last three months. Thomas is even bringing it to bed now!

Opening presents with Mommy

Opening presents from Calgary ...  and then using the presents at dinner time!

Looking to see who has arrived

Grandpa and Pops did a great job of keeping the kids entertained, and surprisingly quiet for a while!

Kisses with Nana.

Our Christmas dinner table, full of family, good food, and as usual lots of laughter.

Twas the night before Thomas and Sarah's Christmas party and all through the house, two children were VERY excited!

The cupcakes ... Thomas kept insisting it was his birthday party and we should sing, so we sang, "We Wish you a Merry Christmas" and had a sparkler for the star at the top of the tree.

Thomas LOVED having so many friends from nursery school over to play

We even played pin the nose on Rudolf!

After our nusery school friends left, our friends from Montreal stayed and Thomas really enjoyed playing house and chase with Sophie, while Sarah just kept wanting Emily's attention!

Sarah waiting patiently for Thomas' school Christmas concert to start   

Thomas sang along to all the songs, taking it all very seriously.

Next came presents from Santa Claus

Afterwards, there was yummy treats for all.

Earlier in the week, Thomas and Sarah had yet another Christmas party at a play group at the local high school.

Thomas loves to go sliding, especially with friends

Thomas and his wonderful snow fort

Hmmm, digging in the snow is fun, but swinging is even better!

At a friends' birthday party

Thomas and Sarah meet Santa for the first (of many) times this month.
