Now:
Our big girl is six years old today!
Sometimes when I watch Ellie run or hear her explain something to me I find it hard to believe that I have a daughter as old and tall as Ellie, then I remember that my dad had one of his kids out of high school by my age. Huh. Anyway, enough of my age crisis..
Happy birthday Ellie! You are a joy to have in our family and love you so much!
A chinook is blowing through, so it is about 25C warmer than usual around here this week. Normally the snow is so cold and dry you can’t even make a snowball, but with temperatures hitting +10C today, the snow was quite workwithable. I took the girls outside to work on our tans and our first snowman of the year.
The temperature is supposed to drop soon, so Mr. Snowman will probably be around for awhile.
‘Tis the season for Children’s Christmas Concerts, fa la la la la, ohh, isn’t that cute.
Yup, so here they are for aunts and grandmothers scattered afar. Ellie had her Kindergarten concert and the Adelaine and Ellie were in the Sunday School concert.
Ellie has had her first loose tooth since Sunday, and it came out last night. She was upset that it didn’t come out as soon as she discovered it; but finally, sometime during last night, it came out. So she lost her first tooth and then really lost it. We took the bed apart looking for it, but I think she swallowed it… so the Tooth Fairy is going to have to fight with another fairy for that one. Anyway, the gap seems to be affecting her tongue, as it is always trying to escape through the new hole.

We had a spontaneous and somewhat cheesy talent show erupt the other night. The girls wanted to sing O Canada, but then they kept going, making up songs as they went.
Not sure what else to say about that..
