Christmas And a New Camera!

Well Christmas came and as usual Jen outspent me by a wide margin...this year I got a new digital camera (a digital SLR no less!). It's a Canon Digital Rebel XT (or Canon 350D for you folks across the pond) and it's beautiful! Emily received a whole wack of gifts as expected and her birthday party is tomorrow so she's bracing for a few more as well. I've uploaded some photos to the flickr site to show off my new toy. Hope everyone had a safe and happy Christmas. Onward and upward to the New Year!

Ballerina

The prima ballerina finally got the chance to show off her skills. Cramming all the excited camera-wielding parents into the studio, the girls put on quite a show. I managed to get a few decent shots which you can see here. It was really great to see her so happy. Emily headed off to celebrate at an exquisite luncheon at Chez McDonalds with parents and grandparents in tow. (Sorry you missed it Uncle Paul - we'll make it up with a nice burger sometime soon). Big Macs, chicken nuggets and fries were enjoyed by all.

Collingwood And Room Upgrades

Well it seems Mom lucked out and won a room upgrade to the 'Presidential' suite during her recent company conference up in Collingwood. Emily and I hurried up there to take a look and spend the night in roomy comfort. With multiple TV's running Berenstain Bears, snow on the ground and an abundant supply of hot chocolate, it goes without saying that the little one was quite impressed with the whole situation. They've really improved the whole Blue Mountain area since I was there last (ages and ages ago). A definite choice for a quick weekend away. I've posted a few pics of Em that I took while we were there. Click here to see them.
