Tis the Season

Well, that's it for our Christmases of being just us two...no more Christmas Eve family party until midnight and opening gifts after a few glasses of whatever at my in laws house and Christmas Day/night spent with my family. We are hanging up our Christmas party shoes for something MUCH more exciting and fun. We are bringing bak the magic of Christmas. The days of toys and Santa, and oh my word, I cannot wait!!!!!

Today we are heading to my mother in laws place for Christmas, since tomorrow would be too late after the family party for our little guy, and he has to be in bed early so Santa can come! Christmas morning, after the gifts are opened, we are off to my parents place. Our Christmas will be low key and fabulous :)

I made some chocolate gingerbread cookies the other day, since I know how much my parents love gingerbread.I literally hate making cookies that require the dough to be chilled overnight...who has that kind of patience??? Anyways, I hate gingerbread and even I think they're delicious. Ty has been stealing some out of the container or his mom lol. I may make some butterscotch chip ones tomorrow,because  what is Christmas Eve without some baking!? 

Some laundry in the machine, Ty frantically wrapping and going to take my time getting ready with so e hot chocolate after:).... I thrive around the holidays! Lol

Currently, my babes and I are watching the frosty the snowman special on Treehouse :)

Yesterday, I gave Garett his first haircut --he looks much less like a hippie now..but boy was that difficult. He just wants to see what I'm doing the entire time..some pieces are a little uneven but it's super cute and at least he didn't get cut!

Merry Christmas to you all:) enjoy this time with your family and the 45 cm of snow that has fallen since Friday ( if you're local).

Life Lately

-Hosting Bearbrook Ladies night two weekends ago was wonderful! I put out a full charcuterie spread, made a mint/cranberry/grapefruit drink to share, and all of us received a tarot card reading, palm read and a facial read. Pretty much the reoccurring consensus between all three reads (it was two different people doing it) was that my heart and mind live in a state of conflict, but that it works for me to live in a state of balance. I deal mostly with logic and facts, and less with emotions; they think I would be good as an analyst (weird, since this is pretty well my role at work), and with numbers (which I also do all day at work lol). I'm stubborn and loyal and do not have a mean streak. That I am the same person at home as I am in social settings...blah blah blah. It was interesting! -Last weekend, we went out to Tyler's Disco Inferno show to celebrate our friend Jami and Donna's birthdays. We danced away (one of Keira's ECE's from daycare came out too!) and i...

-Garett went on his first friend play date ever , and he had so much fun. It was his two best friends that left daycare to start school last year. -happy that while Garett was at his play date, Tyler was home with Keira and I went out for a bit alone, then came home and we finished The Belko Experiment movie before I went to get him. (He was there for two hours) -sad that this week, Garett only has four days left at daycare :( Friday is Keira's first day, while I keep g home with me. Can't believe it's already almost school time!! -as a "goodbye" gift from g, we bought his daycare provider a necklace from peoples that is a heart with some Garnet stones in it (Garett's birthstone), to remember him by, and I ordered an Aukey essential oils diffuser , a doTERRA starter kit and an essential oils mixing guide recipe book thing. Hopefully she likes it. -Keira adapted SO well to putting herself down for her nap. She's down to one a day, and I just give...

Friday fun!

Thank God it's Friday, and that this week is O-V-E-R!!! -It was a stressful week at home. Looking forward to a fun weekend! -I am being audited for child care expenses in 2018--I'm not the only one that thinks we pay too much money in child care! LOL...I submitted my receipts online (they are catching up with the times and it's great!) and turns out I actually underclaimed by a few hundred dollars haha. -Tonight is calm, just hanging at home with the kids. -Saturday I have an eyelash appointment at 2:00, and then we have a sitter coming at 6:00 so we can go to a Wine & Cheese night up the road at our friends house. -Sunday is a day of rest until the evening when Shan comes over and we head into town to go to the Trailer Park Boys Christmas at the NAC (I bought Tyler and I tickets as an early Christmas gift). We are sitting pretty close, so I hope we don't get any of their nasty sweat on us lol -Monday I am off since the TPB thing only starts at 8PM, I didn...
