Our little girl

giggles and feet

Isla got this very special hand-made quilt from Auntie Cassie for Christmas, and she looked so cute on it, I just had to take a bunch of pics!

On boxing day, Isla surprised Glen and I by laughing for the first time. It is SO cute.... she is so uncertain about it. So while daddy was making her laugh, I was bawling away. :) So here's a little clip of her giggling....

And yes, Christmas pictures will be up shortly. :)

To visit Santa and the Bright Lights at Stanley Park

Today was the first Saturday in a LONG time that Glen didn't have any homework (woohoo!!) so we had a great family day together. First we went to metrotown to see Santa. We were in line for over an hour, so we took advantage of the great decorations to take some pictures... I think we got some cute ones! Then we went to Stanley Park to see the Christmas light displays. All in all, a very fun day!

Isla's first snow!

Baby About Town

On Sunday Isla and I went downtown to check out the Santa Claus Parade. It was crazy with soo many people, so we decided not to stay long, and hung out in the mall instead. Next year we'll know to arrive early to get a good seat!

Saturday night we had some company-- Glen's grandparents, aunt Sheila, uncle Kevin and cousin Mike. It was so nice to see them again. And of course Isla was quite happy to be the center of attention--again!
