Merry Christmas 2006
Yesterday we hired a babysitter and joined our closest friends for our annual Montreal Christmas dinner. A few couldn't make it out but this year Stephane, Sarah(and lil' guy), Jennifer, Ali and Jasmine were there. Once again Ali found a restaurant for us (Cocagne) and the food was fantastic! We don't often go out to restaurants so it's nice to find spend a little extra once a year at a nice restaurant. Unfortunately we ran a little late and had to dash out before taking a picture of the gang. This year Ann decided to avoid the seafood and foie gras and avoid memoirs of 2005. Anyways- Merry Christmas to all of our friends and family who may be checking out our blog!
lunch
LL and J (and J) and Chloe (and Hypatia) came over for some lunch today- it was nice to have J and J over for the first time....(Obviously J hasn't signed the webpage release forms yet...)
Smiley, speak no evil and speak no evil
The three kids hung out in my office while I worked.... no idea what the moms were doing.
LL and new haircut
The only way I could get LL to wear his mitts was to tell them that the line hemmed on it was a train track for Thomas. This Thomas is overtaking our lives.
LL and YiYi
For some reason I rarely have photos of LL and YiYi on the blog- maybe because they always end up dark and shadowy like this one.
Prep for cookie decorating
Potty training has gone very well and I think we're pretty much there. We've rewarded pees with stickers and poohs with letting LL watch a quick Thomas video on my computer. Just before Ali arrived for cookie making, LL had a successfull pooh after holding out for 2 days. Ginormous is the only way to descibe it. So we plopped him down on my chair to watch his video while we did some house chores. 30 seconds later LL was crying and when I came into my office he was standing next to the chair - "Pooh!"
A veritable mountain of pooh on my chair. That's the lucky chair catching some rays outside.

Cookiepalooza
Last week Ann kept LL home on Thursday and Friday to make cookies. Thursday morning Ali came over and the three of them made gingerbread cookies. Friday morning Chloe and Hypatia came over to make Jewish shortbread. Friday night LL's friends from garderie (Clara and Lily) came over (with Clara's family) to decorate the ginger bread. Decorating was fun- and LL especially liked the coloured sugar that Ali brought over. By the end of the night his face and hands were green and red and the floor was pretty gritty from all the sugar. It was a pretty late night for all the kids but they lasted without any major incidents. Saturday Sarah hosted a cookie exchange with goodies made by Ali, Sarah, and Mark.

santa claus
Sunday Ann was working all day so we went down to PDA together at 9:30 and made an appointment with Santa's personal secretary for 10:30. While Ann went off to work LL and I amused ourselves until it was time. LL was a bit hesitant to sit with Santa but after an hour of waiting he really wasn't given much choice. To his credit he didn't cry and did manage to tell Santa what he wanted for Xmas.
