New Years Eve – 2011
1 month ago
Well, the end of 2011 was upon us last night, Kendra and Kyra invited us out to bowling, where we were joined by my parents. We played just over an hour, nothing major but the kids seemed to have a blast doing it.

Christmas 2011
1 month ago
Christmas this year was a special one again, since we had our youngest Allie, celebrating her first Christmas. Couple with Sydney being old enough to actually understand the whole thing (as in she is getting presents!) and it was a recipe for being a great one.
We were lucky enough to have Santa stop by on the 24th to visit. Turned out really well.
In the end, the presents were great, the kids were thrilled, and everyone involved were spoiled, and fed very well.
The full set of pictures are available here.
A few highlights below.

Well, the day had finally come, where our little girl turned the old age of one. We had two birthday parties for her, one with her friends around her age, and then later in the day a BBQ with family and friends. Here are some of the pictures from the day.

As per my earlier post here, Sydney was all dressed up in her pink tutu for the dance recital. The last picture was from my iphone, and we did take a better picture (with a better camera) at home earlier, so I thought I should put it up. She honestly kinda liked it.
Something was funny

We are not really sure what was happening here, but you know when kids get into that ‘mood’ where ANYTHING is funny, and they act like its the funniest thing they have ever seen – this was it. Maybe she was tired, or had too much sleep, but either way – this is why people have kids!
Blocks

We had gotten a set of blocks for her birthday, and the game quickly turned into how many blocks dad could stack up before Sydney knocked em over. Sometimes 2, other times, about 10.
Pretty in pink

This picture was taken at my cousin Jarrett and Alisa’s daughters birthday. She was all dressed up and the headband was actually still on her head (as long as she forgets about it, we are good – so nobody tell her!)

Sydney and her inseparable bear. She drags it around everywhere, and although its supposed to be pink…its usually the colour of dirt. Anyhow, we say ‘hug’ and she gives it a good hug. Sadly, his hug would have snapped its poor neck.
She is usually pretty nice to bear – see:
Pool time

Jamie had purchased a small paddling pool for Sydney, so we got her dressed up in her bathing suit. She really didnt know what was happening here yet, but still cute!
