We went to the mall today to get some jeans at the Gap for me and maybe a couple of shirts for Anthony and a battery for my watch.  Since we were there we decided to go to Eb and check out used games so we could have an afternoon of video fun.  While Anthony was looking for a game a courier came into the store with a few smallish boxes.  I asked the guy who signed for them if it was possibly some Wiis and he grinned and said yes.  So I called Anthony over and we put back the used x-box game and got a Wii and 2 new Wii games.  Cool Wii karma.  I must admit I was really excited because after trying for a month and a half we happened to be in the right place at the right time.  On the way home in the car I thought of the post and almost as soon as I said it outloud Aidan started saying “Wee wee wee wee.”  I thought it was most appropriate.

Merry day after boxing day Anthony.

Aidan is decorated quite festive tonight:

And, oh my, what a sight for him come morning:

Merry Christmas to all!

Please recall the four hour (that is, we’re 4 hours earlier) time difference between Left Coast and East Coast. Look for us on MSN, the webcam will be earning its keep.

We visited the vanDusen Festival of Lights tonight.

Taking pictures without a tripod with a point-and-shoot is … challenging.

There were tonnes of lights, tonnes of people, and lots of things to see and do. For example, we got to sit in Santa’s sleigh:

It wasn’t raining, but there were puddles. Aidan found every single one, and made sure that he splashed in them!

The weather was good, but a little chilly. I don’t think I caught a ghost on camera … perhaps just my breath in the cold damp air.

So I bought Aidan a doll. It is very lifelike for a doll and is about the size of a newborn. In fact the reason I got it was because he really liked my doll Seana, but she is 31 and a little in need of some work. When we went out last Friday we went into Superstore for a minute and found the doll and a really nice Train table that he is getting from Grandma and Grandpa. The doll he held onto the whole time we were there and when we got home and the doll was out of the package there was no way I could take it away from Aidan. He loves it ( I am waiting till he decides whether it is male or female,) and will hug the baby and feed the baby and kiss the baby. I think that he will be a great big brother if we ever have a second child.
