Wouldn't it be nice if there were 3 photos?

We went to Church last Sunday for the Sunday School Christmas pageant and I took the opportunity to dress the kids in Christmas attire and they looked so cute! I wanted to take a picture of each of them by the Christmas tree before we left and here are the kids that co-operated so nicely for me. So now you know who my favourites are ... the Gaber felt it was not necessary to be agreeable with his Mother at that particular time. Later in the day at his Grandma's house he stood still for her camera for approximately 3 seconds. She was not aware of the Gaber Law which clearly states that you must be absolutely ready to take a picture of him when he decides to stand still otherwise you have to wait until another holiday.

Christmas party at the PDC

So Raph's work threw their first Santa party for kids of the workers at the Product Distribution Centre. They had cookie decorating, colouring, ornament decorating and a tour of the warehouse with Santa who also handed out presents. Raph and Santa brought us around the warehouse and showed all the kids the forklift, the cardboard crusher, cherry picker and the line they use to pick orders.

The line was particularly fun as you can see it created a nice rollercoaster type ride for the kids.

The shrink wrap spinning machine was a favourite ride for the kids. I am really just naming the machines with my own words because I have no idea what the real names for them are! They kids all had a great time and I suggested that perhaps they should rent out the warehouse on weekends for birthday parties!

Happy Birthday Dad

Dec. 4th was Dad's, or better known as Papa, birthday and he and Nana came over for cake. The kids had made him cards and we tried to get a nice picture of him with the kids but not always easy! Faith of course will sit nicely and smile pretty and is very photogenic. Declan will sit still but refuses to smile. And the Gaber never sits still, very rarely will even join the photo op and always gives a goofy look on his face. Nana gave Papa a record player for his birthday and so ensued the discussion about how we used to listen to music on "records". Amazing that I am so old that there are things when I grew up that my kids have never even heard of the word let alone what it means! Papa is looking forward to having the kids come over and listen to his records.
