Wise men and sailors

This past week was full of Christmas activities and programs for the kids.  These were two of the favourites from the week.  First, Kindergarten was not part of the whole school musical that ACS put on last week, (which was amazing!)  So, the Kindergaren class put on their own little Christmas program in their classroom.  Each child had a part in the story and a little 'verse' that they recited.  They did a wonderful job telling the Christmas story and singing their songs for us!

Owen was one of the 3 wise men.  Doesn't he look wise!! :)

Kendra also had several different Christmas activities in the last little while but her dance recital was a highlight for her.   She attends Everybody Dance Now studios and is in a Ballet/Jazz class.  This is a little quicker than the straight ballet class from last year, which suits her just fine!  The theme of the recital was 'Tropical Christmas'.  Her class of dancers were all dressed up like little sailors.  They looked pretty cute!

Our 'sailor' did a fantastic job dancing!  We were very proud of her!

Birthday #2!



It was time for another birthday in the deWolde household with the youngest member celebrating her 2nd birthday!  Wow - I can't believe that it was already 2 years ago when she arrived, just in time for Christmas!  Here are a few shots of our day!

  As a good older sister and brother, Kendra and Owen were more than willing to help Jocelyn open her presents, read her cards and figure out her toys for her!

 I went with a 'Farmyard' theme for her cake as she loves anything with animals right now and the sounds they make.  (Thanks howdini.com for the tutorial!)

A fun day!  Now on to Christmas!!
