Hanging with St. Nick

Ho de ho ho ho...

So Santa's come to town, and even though we are doing an Asian-themed December, we had to pop into the wretched mall to get this shot. Not so much for now, but I know she'll probably like to look at it when she's an oldster. I know I always liked looking at the old Santa pics that we shoved into the xmas decoration boxes.

Crazy how pale she is. I swear, this kidlet is the whitest person in Toronto.

Happy Holidays!

Sled It!

This morning we decided to head into the backyard and squish the snow down and have a bit of a slide on the very very slight incline under the apple tree.

Snow is cold. But sliding is good fun!

First Snow

Yes, the responsible thing is to tuck her into bed.

But first snow only comes once a year, and when you are less than a year old yourself, it's an occasion worth blowing off sleep patterns.

V Skypes!

Attention V Fans: The Dynamic Duchess is now web-cam enabled and available to share her various musings via video chat!

This video was the first test for the new webcam, which is now up and running. We're using Skype as webchat program of choice, and V loves squawking at the blue light and seeing who all is trapped in the laptop screen.

If you would like to have a cozy vidchat with La Gremlin and a supervisory adultish person of your choice, email me and I'll give you our Skype user info.

Congee Congo!

With a big trip coming up soon, we're all breaking out our table manners and getting used to eating at restaurants. Here's V's first time ordering a la carte: congee at the super kickass dumpling joint Mother Dumplings in Chinatown.

While Halloweens come and go, the photos will linger...forever!
