We've had a fantastic couple of days here at the House of Bad. Hub's cousin has been visiting from England and I adore her - she's funny and sweet and generous to a fault. There isn't a lovelier person anywhere. I left Bad at the sitter's on Thursday while the Princess was at school and went to pick H up from Hub's mom's house. (Grandma J was horrified that I hadn't brought her babies - for a minute I didn't think she would let me in!)
I had offered to take H shopping, which is half the reason she comes over, but I was a little apprehensive as I didn't know her very well. I shouldn't have worried, we had the best afternoon. We chatted and laughed and found H some great bargains to take home.
Hubs played hooky on Friday and we took H and the kids down to Casa Loma. They put on a lot of activities for Christmas including a play, a magic show and Santa. This year they were doing a spin on A Christmas Carol so there were some ghostly apparitions throughout the castle as well. It was great.
We had a birthday brunch for Bad yesterday, and our town very conveniently scheduled the Santa Parade for 11:00. We just had some friends and their kids, Hub's mom and sister, and H. Homemade muffins, fruit, coffee, cake....a parade....what else do you need?

Seeing Santa at Casa Loma
Every Birthday Party should come with a parade
What is she doing? They keep telling me to stay AWAY from fire!
Shovel it in here a little faster Dad! Oh - and the Princess's best friend A (he's 3 1/2) gave me the best laugh. They were playing so quietly upstairs that I went up to check on them. When I peeked in they were playing dress up, and being good as gold so I turned around and went to go in the washroom.
A: Oh no! You can't go there, that's the train station!
Me: Oh, okay. I'll go downstairs.
A: Good. We're taking a train to Minnesota. (He has an auntie there)
Me: Well that sounds fun.
A: Yeah. We're going to see Neil Diamond!
