Dancing Juju

Juliette loves to dance and twirl to music. One of her favourite songs is "With or Without You". She sometimes even sings along and says "out you, out you, no no no..." Juju also points to the computer and says "out you", requesting we play "With or Without You" for her.

Playing Downstairs

Ella and Juliette love to play with their little kitchen downstairs. They are often making and eating ice cream or block soup. Ella likes to bring her treats to "a meeting". Here's a video clip of the girls playing, and Juliette showing off some of her skills.

Happy New Year!

We spent New Year's Eve out in Abbotsford with the Lungs. We don't get to see the Lungs as much as we used to now that they live a little further away, so we were very happy to have a visit with them. We had pizza for dinner, and we put the kids to sleep and spent the night. The adults played a few games and then decided to ring in the New Year at 11 pm instead of midnight.

Howard read Ella and Jonas a story from the Jesus Storybook Bible.

Today, after a week of visits and holiday fun, our little girls were exhausted. Ella was doing her quiet time downstairs and she was quieter than ever. I peeked around the corner to find her fast asleep on the stairs. She is a perfect fit for the steps and I guess she thought this would be a good place to take a little snooze.

On Saturday we took the girls to the pool. They had lots of fun going down the slide over and over again.

Roger and Helen

We also had brunch over at Roger and Helen's house. Roger and Spencer work together and over the past couple of years we have gotten to know Roger and Helen as friends.

Helen was a very good sport and let Ella and Juju have a ride on her scooter. They all thought that this was great fun and Helen even let them push the control buttons.

Holiday Visit at Great Grandpa's

Last week we were able to visit with lots of family at Great Grandpa's house.

Juliette with cousin Alex.

We visited with Grandma She-She and she read the girls 'The Polar Express'. 'The Polar Express' is one of Grandma's favourite books and she even wears a bell around her neck while reading it. Grandma She-She brought the girls each their own bell to wear and they enjoyed listening to the story and jingling their bells. Thanks for a nice visit, Grandma!

Cousin Graham was assisting the girls build a "huge block tower".

The girls with Great Auntie Jan.

And of course, no trip to GGs is ever complete without the anticipation and excitement of the cuckoo clock.
