Yule pictures



While the boys watch "Rugrats Chanukah" and leftovers heat for tonight's dinner, I thought I would post the pictures from yesterday. Quinn shopped for Fergus while we were away. As I mentioned in a previous post, he REALLY wanted to get the gift for Fergus at Toys 'r Us in the US. Funny. Ferg wanted the same thing but when he realised that the gift he wanted to buy was $19.99 US and in Canada was $19.99 here, he decided to wait and save a few pennies. That meant that yesterday morning he and I braved the arctic chill in the air and went out shopping.



He barely got Quinn's gift wrapped when they were both begging to exchange gifts. They knew that this year they wouldn't be receiving anything further from mommy and daddy as the trip was their gift, so they wanted to get whatever they could for the holiday. How could we resist? Sure!!





Doug went out later in the afternoon and bought a Yule tree. The boys spent a long time after our Yule feast decorating the tree with birds, deer, fruit and other significant ornaments. This year we had a bird to add that Christena (MIL) received from her sister. What a special addition.





Now, I should go and check the food. Have a great night and if you celebrate Hanukkah, blessings of the season to you and yours!!
