If you missed part one you can see that here.

As I mentioned in the first post our childrens school put on a production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream set in the 1970′s last week. It was a delight to watch and the amount of time and effort that was put into the show was incredible. There were hours spent in rehearsals, planning costumes, learning dances, and memorizing lines. It was fantastic to watch and I am amazed at the creativity and talent. Here are some of the photographs from the show.

Our children’s school, ASIA – North Poplar, has been working very hard for the last couple of months to put on a production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. It was to be set in the 1970′s and did they ever pull it off! Last night was the final perfomance and it was a fantastic show. All three of the kids were involved. Mackenna played the role of one of the main fairies – Moth. Kaidan’s class danced to That’s The Way I Like It. Kennedy’s class danced to Dancing Queen. The creativity that went into this performance was outstanding.

I will be posting more photographs of the show but for today here are my three in their disco best!

We are back from spending another amazing weekend up at Manning Park. Wonderful time with the family, lots of laughs and fun in the snow. Here is a single photograph of a snow crystal.

Today was the annual photograph of the kids in front of the Christmas tree. I used to do it on Christmas Eve while the kids were all dressed up and right before we left for the Christmas Eve Service. That only seemed to result in us being rushed, cranky kids, and grumpy parents. Nice way to arrive at a Christmas Eve Service eh? So this is the second year that I have gotten the kids all dressed up and done it early. WHY didn’t I do this sooner?

I wish everyone a wonderful Christmas and a blessed New Year!

This year both Mackenna and Kennedy are taking ballet at EDN Studio here in Abbotsford. Both girls are loving the classes and we are equally as happy! Last night was their Christmas Dance Recital – The Nutcracker. Kennedy was one of the party guests and Mackenna was one of the waltzing flowers. They both did amazing and it was a joy to watch them dance.

This weekend I was able to participate in the Poplar Market.  This market was amazing!  Kelly and Bethany teamed up to put on an amazing homemade and vintage style market.  The market was a fundraising event for the students of ASIA North Poplar.  Kelly and Bethany (along with many others) put in endless hours and they did a fantastic job.   When you walked into the school you were overwhelmed with a feast of eye candy.  You hardly knew what to look at first.  So many parents, staff, and members of the community came together, donating their time and skills to pull off  this market. 

The vendors that attended Poplar Market were all local artisans and the quality of the items was incredible.  Poplar Market also had some incredibly generous sponsors.  Our sponsors included Price Smart, Staples, Spruce Collective, GoMAC, and Bourquin Printers & Signs.  For a full list of all of the vendors at Poplar Market you can follow the link to the Poplar Market website. 

If you missed out this year you will want to make sure to put it on your calendar and come out next year!  As they say a picture is worth a thousand words.  So enough words and enjoy the photographs that show just what an amazing day it was.

This weekend I met up with Nicole and her daughter Jada. It had been raining all weekend and it didn’t look too promising for our scheduled session. However the weather turned out beautiful with not a drop of rain! We had fun exploring through the woods and enjoyed creating these photographs together.

Yesterday afternoon we went to Willow View Farms in Abbotsford. We picked up a few pumpkins and brought them home to carve. The tendrils (I’ll be honest I had to look that up. I didn’t know what they were called.) on the stem of one of the pumpkins caught my attention. They were so thin and wispy looking. They were begging me to have their photogaph taken.

Last night we were able to go and watch my nephew play hockey. Rowan loves hockey. When I say that he loves hockey that is a bit of an understatement. This kid eats, lives, and breathes hockey. He can get lost in playing for hours at a time and will not even stop to eat. Any chance he gets he will play. He oftens plays goalie and he is good at it! Loved watching you play last night Rowan and look forward to many more games!

In the evening we often get this beautiful golden light that shines in through our living room. Tonight I was able to snatch an image of Kennedy. I love that even though you can’t see her eyes in this photograph you can tell she is giving this little smirk.
