Santa Claus parade 2012

Although it took place November 18, it was so hot and sunny for the Guelph 2012 Santa Claus parade that we all took off our coats while we waited for the big man to arrive.  Finn invited his friend Kyann to watch the parade with us and chow down on some hot apple cider and popcorn.

 Hugging Scooby!

The kids were especially excited by this float.  The house seen here was painted by kids who visited the Children's Art factory the week before - including Finn and Tabs!  Most of their handiwork was inside, but you can seen glimpses of their brush work if you zoom in really close.......

Cello recital

Finn has been working so hard at his cello.  For his recital this year he played Go Tell Aunt Rhody.  He was great.  Mum was more nervous than he was.

The Royal Agricultural Winter Fair 2012

This year Andrew was asked to judge the 4H club corn entries at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair.  Since he had a free pass, we decided to head into Toronto to check it out as a family.  The kids loved visiting with the animals and checking out the Super Dogs show.  The corn exhibit which Andrew had judged was more "interesting" than exciting.
