My 1st painting project of 2011

Day One
End of day One
I will be getting another picture of the whole room all set up with the baby change table placed under the branches.

Finished project

I was lucky enough to be able to paint some wall art of a tree blowing in the wind on a friends baby room's wall. I had so much fun doing it. It took me 2 nights 6 hours and I long loud play list blaring in my ears. Was fun and I really needed to get my creative side started again. So I have some great painting idea's and projects that I will be doing over the next couple of months.

If there is anybody that would be interested in an Wall Art I'm available :)

More little things

When Ella snuggled up to me in the early morning the first things she said was"Mommy I missed you".Then when I picked her up from Daycare the first thing she said was

"I'm so happy to see you".

My baby's

Every night as long as I can remember Ella and I like to talk about the day before she closes her eyes for bed.Lying there together in the dark, while she sucks her thumb and strokes my hair and plays with my earrings. It's the small things that are the best part of my day!

Love you Ella

I enjoy nursing Noah in the dark and watching his chubby little hands floating straight up in the air. He will gently play with my nose and run his fingers through my hair. Closing his eyes with a sense of calm around us. I find myself dreaming about my little boy and who he will become.

Love you Noah

Visit to G.G's house

Lucas * Ella * Amber

Ella was in shock that Santa was there ,she couldn't take her eyes off of him.

Well were right into all the holiday festivities. I have posted some pictures of the weeks fun. We made a trip out to VanDusen Gardens with my Mom,Lucas and Amber and us with the 2 kids. I'm happy to say that Ella walked the whole time all by herself and Noah never slept the whole time we were there. He wouldn't miss a beat of his first Christmas. But they both fell into a deep sleep on the way home,it was a lot of work for them both.

The kids and I visited G.G. Besth (great grandma)to see her X-mas decorations ,what a hit they all are with Ella. And we were lucky to see Marilee (Auntie) come over for a drop in to. xo

We also had our annual friends Christmas dinner of 18 Adults,7 kids and 4 baby's. We have been doing this dinner for around 10 years know. It's all the same people and over the years they have multiplied with getting married and having kids. It all started with 6 or 8 people having a nice quiet Christmas dinner. It was very busy night but very worth it to, just to have everybody over together.Next year were going to have to book a hall !

"MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL MY BLOGGER FRIENDS"

Ho hhooohohohoh...

Ella told Santa today that she would like more LEGO and she wanted to help him make toys.AWESOME!

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!
