Getting ready for Christmas - Part 2

There never seems to be enough time to get things ready for Christmas but we did manage to tick off a few things on our list such as making a Gingerbread train.
We had a train left over from last year so we decided that we would tackle making it one evening. Well it wasn't so bad except that i don't think everyone was really committed to building it and the icing was not cooperating very well. Daddy decided that it needed to be runnier so he added some water but then it was too runny so mummy added some more icing sugar. Me, well all I really wanted to do was eat the candy! After some grunting and some veiled threats that we wouldn't do this train next year we (meaning mummy) finally finished it.




We also fit in a little skating party and my cousins even came along with mummy, daddy and me. I needed to teach my cousin Craig how to stop so i thought a little game of tag would be the best teaching method. Not sure if he ever did manage to stop but it was fun anyway. Mummy had to teach Meagen how to skate too but I'm not sure if her method of "helping" is endorsed by Skate Canada! Tessa already knew how to skate cause mummy taught her when she was little so she helped hide stickers.


Daddy also felt the need to show his skating skills but he ain't no Kurt Browning, maybe more like a Toller Cranston wannabe!

Christmas sure does involve lots of fun things to do
