Christmas Holidays!

We had a lot of dates in December for friends and family Christmas get togethers. Many of which took place over the break (we both had December 23rd to Jan 2nd off - except I had to go in briefly on Christmas eve)

On December 18th, we got together with Aleksy's cousin, Rob and Amanda and their kiddos. Here's Logan with his cousin Daniella - and a baby (that's not real I swear!). They made us an awesome prime rib (I'm not really sure how we scored this for supper!). We had such a good time at supper and Logan loved playing with Daniella's old toys and in the basement after supper - so much space to run around and play. He even had his nudey time and changed into jammies there! He was oe sleepy boy on the way home from Strathroy!

And after all our Dec 23-26th festivities, we had plans with Chels, War and their small tribe and Andzelika and Paul & girls. Because babies are happiest in the morning, we got together before lunch. Logan loves being surrounded by other kids! He was a sleepy boy during this visit though and had 2 naps in the time we were there. He managed to squeeze in some fun kitchen play with Serena.

We ordered in Pizza Projekt for lunch (with the awesome deep dish pizza that's like a panzerotti) and of course opened presents. Logan got spoiled with clothes! PJs and new outfits! He may not understand but Mommy and Daddy were very happy...

















Chels came up with this present for Serena and Natalia - she provided all the ingredients for homemade hot chocolate and a recipe along with some fun marshmallows and then mixed together the hot chocolate with the girls and let them each have a sample cup! So cute!

Warren said Cadence got her Mommy all the fixings for cosmopolitans. We also cashed in on Chelsea's Christmas gift. Cosmos for all the ladies!

And when Logan woke up from nap #2 he was ready for play and to bully his friends... pushing them off the trampoline. This guy's always the baby around other kids, so he needs to get used to the little ones... and not being a bully!

We were so sure the twins would be the bullies to Logan... the Webster genes. Maybe that'll hit when they start to walk...













Logan and his buds on the trampoline. Logan loves little books like the one he has in his hand here. He just carries them all around.

 The next day, the 28th was out family day - no plans: just the 3 of us! So we took Logan swimming at the Y. He was the happiest baby getting into the pool and looking at all the other kids playing. He also is a huge fan of the water that sprays into the pool. All around good times. He was in there for about half hour!

Then after swimming, like all responsible parents, we snuck our baby into the treehouse - the play centre that's not included in our swim pass. Mwahahaha.

This part was the best according to Logan - no need to go all the way up to go somewhere... he was satisfied just going up then back down on repeat.

Just a little extra energy burnt off to contribute to a nice long afternoon nap!

The next day, Thursday, was our full Christmas dinner with Sam and Zac. I mean full turkey dinner with stuffing, mashed potatoes, veg, croissant rolls, cranberry sauce (made by Alyssa!), and of course my baked goodness for dessert.

I made up the stuffing in the morning and helped with some prep, but Aleksy pretty much did the rest. Someone had to entertain the guests!

And presents were had - this is Logan opening his new drill. His first inclination with the drill that fully spins is to put it directly into his mouth and drill. He's such a monster! He loves this drill - probably the cause and effect - that he pushes the button and makes it go!

And this little cutie geekster it getting so big! William scored himself some Zahara clothes from his bud Logan. We really like this new store - such cute & stylish kids clothing. This little cutie has quite the trendy wardrobe, so just a little extra for his extensive styling selection!

We had a get together on Friday the 30th too with my work friend Jenny and her husband and little Levi but I didn't get any pictures of Levi and Logan! We will soon - need to get the babies from mat leave back together!

The baked good line up of the year - I had to take 3 days off work throughout December to get these done!
