Merry Christmas!

Christmas with a 2 year old is pretty fun I have to say. Wren likes getting presents, she gets that whole open-the-paper-and-something-fun-is-inside kind of thing. Here she is playing with the old-school Fisher Price Chatter Phone. In our world of cordless phones and cell phones, kids still understand how to use a rotary dial phone!


We spent Christmas Eve at my parents. One of Wren's gifts here was a Barbie car. It's surprising how fast a little girl understands what to do with a doll. :) Takes after her mom and aunty I guess!


This year Kenton and I decided it would be fun to do a cheese platter. We brought one to both our parents houses this year for Christmas. It was a hit! 
(I used this tutorial from a favourite blog of mine to put this together).


Names were drawn for Christmas gifts this year. Kenton made Cam a Jenga game from walnut in his shop. 


Not bad to look at, and also fun to play!


Christmas Day was spent at Kenton's parents where more presents and food were to be had!


Rachel and Dallas, the dress still fits, yay!


I drew Kyle's name, and Kenton sweetly made this Jenga set for me to give to him this year. Again, lots of fun!


Wren cooked up a storm and served a ton of  pretend coffee and tea with her kitchen set.


Family photo- please just pretend Wren is smiling...


Happy Holidays! Wren required everyone to put on their paper crown.


And finally, Wren helped roll dice in the game.

  1. Great work on the Jenga, Kenton - looks beautiful! Also, love that the dress still fits...and that it will go on to be enjoyed by another little Jeske GIRL!!! YAY! Also...does Kyle have his own pair of Padraig's or did he co-opt Kenton's? Could spot those soles from a mile away! Also - where is Wren's other sweater dress from - the one with the stripes?

  2. Kyle is sporting Dean's pair of slippers. Him and Judy got them in Banff last year.
    Wren's sweater dress is also from Joe. Almost always Joe clothing for that kid!
