Jade & Her Reindeer Games
Jade’s mom made these great reindeer antlers for Jade.
I can’t believe she made it in crochet!
Jade was really excited to wear it to her StrongStart Christmas Party.
Wiggling Ice Skaters
Jade painted this at StrongStart before the holidays.
I’m the red skater and Jade is in gold.
I think we’re with the Canadian Olympic team (haha).
Jade really enjoyed skating with me earlier this month.
We’ll have to go again soon.
The Goofy Reindeer
One of the reindeers was feeling sick — and Goofy is ready to fill in (haha).
Christmas Center of Attention
Three is such a wonderful age and Jade has been fascinated by our Christmas tree.
Our family stares at the lights for hours and we talk about the all different ornaments.
There are a few gifts under the tree and Jade likes guessing what they are.
It’ll be so fun around the tree and finally unwrapping our presents.
Candy Cane On The Brain
Jade’s perfected the art of eating a candy cane.
We both ate candy canes together and we talked about the cool peppermint taste.
Surprisingly, she’s very patient and savours it.
And she looooves crunching the last skinny parts.
Yum !!!
The Eleven Monsters Of Christmas
Originally, we had 12 monsters but ‘Big Blue Bear’ ate the smallest one.
My wife drew these fun monsters and Jade named them.
Noises of Christmas Past
Bing! Bang! Click! Clang!
Christmas in 1974. It started as the funnest, loudest Christmas ever. I really wanted that guitar. And I also received an amazing Fisher Price family camper.
Later that day, my dad opened up the camper. He took out the cool clicking noise because it was driving him CRAZY.
When I later met my wife, I couldn’t believe she had the SAME camper … and it still made that SAME clicking noise.
Lucky!
Almost 40 years later, my daughter Jade LOVES playing with the camper.
CLICK! click click CLICK! click click CLICK !!!
Hmmm … Where’s that screwdriver?
Pre-School Paint Presentation
Jade gives me a personal presentation of her latest painting.
It’s fun listening … But even better watching her paint.
Happiness Is Making A Snowman
Vancouver had a massive snow fall last night!
And new snow is PERFECT for making a snowman.
Today was super fun! Jade and our neighbour helped make a snowman.
We then added a carrot nose … the final touch!
Jade’s Digital Doodle Bunny
We downloaded an iPad app called ‘Drawing Carl’ and Jade’s really into it.
She had fun exploring the different features (pattern fills, mirror drawings, etc).
This is my fave from the other day.
