Party Girl

Isabelle was already lucky enough to have her Grandpa in town, plus today it was the Canada Post children's Christmas party, a wicked annual event where Daddy's work pulls out all the stops to entertain the little ones. Once again, it did not disappoint as Isabelle zipped down a big inflatable slide, bounced through an obstacle course and saw some huge reptiles like a giant snake (sorry Gran) and held a tarantula for the 2nd time in her young life. We then headed to the refreshment area where to say that Isabelle enjoyed cookie decorating would be a major understatement. Sugar and icing are clearly favourites of this little princess and she can be quite proprietary about them! Last stop was to see the big guy and although she talks about Santa around the house, let's just say she isn't super excited to see him up close. She was trucking along just fine until it was her turn and aside from giving him a high five, she didn't quite warm up to him. She did, however, warm up to the candy cane she received, not allowing it to leave her hands and mouth the whole trip to the car!

Ready to come to the party, Grandpa?

Hello A&G,

We appreciate the blog updates and all the pictures. Isabelle is a beautiful young girl who reminds us of what the Christmas season is all about ... family, love, joy, yummy treats and new adventures. We also like seeing pictures of A&G - you both look terrific. We'll be in touch soon. Thinking of you all often.

Love from your cousin in Winnipeg - Monique and Wayne
