Tea Time

Holly and some of her friends went to the River Market for a special tea hosted by the Great Wall Tea Company. They even dressed up for the occasion - here she is with her friend, Charlie.

Science Project

Holly worked on a science project at home tonight. We blew up 3 balloons. They we put one in the freezer and one over boiling water to see what would happen . . .    have a look at what happened to the one that got hot!

Naughty or Nice?

This is service! Mommy flossing my teeth for me, while I lie in my bed!

Good thing we flossed, because Santa can see me all the time now! I asked him to bring me a picture of himself and the elves and the reindeer so I could remember him. This is what I got - a frame with a note on the back and pictures from the North Pole! Mommy says he can keep an eye on me now in my room. I have to be good all the time!

Santa Cat

Mowgli, wearing a very cute Santa hat from Bel!

Pierced ears!

Holly got her ears pierced today! She has been asking for a while and we planned the day with her friends, Cassie and Mackenzie. We went to Granville Island to a kids' salon that numbs their ears with emla cream and you come back an hour later for "painless" ear piercing. Apparently, it doesn't even hurt when the cream wears off! Amazing!

She picked the most expensive earrings, of course - she has great fashion sense! They did turn out pretty cute.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas, everyone, from Holly and Mowgli!


Thank you, Santa for my cool Barbie!

Christmas Eve

Santa: asleep on the job. . . I guess travelling around the world and delivering toys to about 2 billion children really takes it out of a person!


Santa and his "family"!
