Isabella's 3rd Birthday
WOW! Isabella is 3!
Isabella had a Mickey & Minnie Mouse Birthday theme.
She got to have cupcakes with her friends at school and a cake and BBQ with friends and family at home.

Christmas 2009
The girls got Canada Olympic shirts when my mom came for a visit. Here they are displaying them proudly. We watched the opening ceremonies and Isabella really got into it. She was so excited and clapped at the events!
The girls have started a new school now that we've moved to Allen. They are going to a Montessori school and have uniforms to wear. I bought them matching lunch boxes withtheir names on them. It's a challenge to make them something both nutricious and something that they'd eat and keep it different everyday.

Here they are the first day of school. So cute!
We got so much snow this year! We had more snow than my family got in Canada. Crazy! We decided to make a snowman with carrot nose and all!
Here's Nonna and the munchkins

The weather here in Texas is crazy one day it's 75 degrees and the next day it's snowing! We've had a few nice days so we took the kids to the park in our neighborhood. Hopefully we'll be getting lots more of those days.
Daniela on a horse of course!

Gabrielle, Camille and Liam came to visit over Christmas break.
We took the kids and Vic to the Gaylord Texan to see the "ICE" exhibit. This year it was Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Amazing sculptures. We try to go every year. They come from China and sculpt the exhibits. Over 4 million pounds of ice. They give you jackets to walk through since it's so cold.
At the end they always have the nativity scenne. Beautiful!

The whole family
Isabella & Nonna enjoying the other exhibits inside the Gaylord Texan Resort. They always have a decked out lobby and foyer. There's trains and little towns for the trains, cookies for the kids to decorate.
Daniela the movie star
Daniela with her "little mommy" doll. It looks just like her. Uncanny!

Can you believe we actually had snow on Christmas day.

I think that's the first time in 80 years.
The sockings were hung by the chimney with care
Christmas this year was interesting with the move. We all worked really hard and got moved in and had a fun Christmas with the kids. We didn't set up a tree this year so we put our presents around the snowman we bought. The kids didn't know the difference. Next year we'll put up the tree.

Pods
Christmas 2009 was a crazy one! Vic came down to visit. She arrived on Dec. 2oth and on the 21st we had the movers come to move us to the new house. We spent the next few days unpacking the house, the kitchen especially since we were having Christmas at our house. Vic washed a lot of glasses and dishes. Mike's parents also helped greatly with the packing and moving of stuff before the movers came. One thing I'll tell anyone who's planning to move or move twice like we did, is get a pod (portable on demand storage container). They drop the container off in your driveway, you fill it up with stuff you need to store and they come pick it up. When you need it back you call them and they'll deliver it to your new address. You unload it at your leisure and then they'll come pick it up. If you need to get something from it in between those time you call them and they'll make it accessible to you. Better than a storage unit wher you have to load it, unload it, then load it up again then unload it again. Plus they keep it in an air conditioned warehouse for you. Love it!

New House
Our new house should be ready soon - less than 3 weeks. We plan to be in before Christmas. It is an exciting time! Her's a few pic's. The kids have fun going to check out the house and the progression on their rooms. We are all looking forward to spending this Christmas in our house! It will be hectic, but good.
