Christmas Day

Here are a few pictures of our lovely Christmas Day in Yellowknife. Unfortunately, Edzea was obviously reacting with fever and mini-cold to her immunization from Tuesday so we had a strange day. She fell asleep during waffle making so conveniently Tim and I were able to eat in peace and open all of “our” gifts on our own.

We only opened half of Edzea’s gifts today so she will continue opening them over the next few days. It has become “Christmas week” at our house.

Every night before bed she kept asking for a “chooo chooo” from Santa….so lo and behold, Santa brought one. Edzea and her Daddy had lots of fun with her new train set. I am shocked by how much she loves to BUILD and construct things. Definitely her father’s child. She also loves to cook so Santa brought her some pots & pans and she helped in the kitchen in her new cooking outfit too.

We went to Gina and Stuart’s for Christmas dinner where both girls were under the weather and dinner didn’t quite go as planned. I’ll write more when I have more energy. Merry Christmas!

Tim’s Birthday

We are having lovely warm weather in Yellowknife right now. -1 today. We took Edzea out on her sled which she promptly fell asleep on. Last night we had a few friends over for dinner to celebrate Tim’s birthday. How is it that Edzea can be exhausted at 10 pm when she finally goes to sleep and then STILL wake up at 6am? We are not going to put her to bed late anymore. This tactic isn’t working. She may as well go to bed at 7pm so at least we get our evenings back.

Here are some photos of Tim’s birthday:

Also, I’m torn. We have people around the neighbourhood who continually dump snow from their driveways on to our corner. We have the only curb on the cul-de-sac. I didn’t get a chance to call the city about it this week but I wanted to see what they could do about it. We have a HUGE mountain around our corner fence which turns into a lake in our yard in the spring.  We had loads of snow due to the warm weather last night and the main culprit across the street is now using his bobcat to clear our driveway. I’m sure this is a way to appease us. A. It’s worked so far B. I wish he would ask and then we could actually tell him how we feel. What to do?????!!!

When Edzea and Mackenzie were at dance class the other day they were asked to free dance. They had just finished  another dance holding hands and Mackenzie thought they should continue together. They kept dancing and dancing and dancing like the highschool slow dance shuffle. Markham caught it on his cell phone video. Hope you can play it.
