Edit: I had to rewrite this post because blogger bugged on me ....

You all know I have a special crush on Santa. I don't know if it's the red outfit, the beard, the hat or if it's because Christmas brings so much joy to lots of people. I love Christmas: I love Christmas decorations inside and outside the house. Today, we put some windows clings : the kids may have put too many of them but they had so much fun !!! Now Steb can't wait to decorate the tree that we'll buy on saturday. I can't wait to take my Santas out of their boxes where they are patiently waiting for a whole year to see the light!

I always get new ones. Every year, I buy a new Santa. On that site, Holiday decorations direct, I saw many great Santas that I'd like to add to my collection ( but they have all kinds of christmas decorations - not only Santas for the addicts like me !!! )

We got a winner !!!!

I first put all the name on one sheet of paper (because I think it's nicer to have a home drawing than using the random generator; kids love to take turn to draw a name.)

It was Pierre's turn to draw a name.

Mix, mix,mix !!!

And the grand winner of this second blog anniversary giveaway is ( please) :

Congratulations Stichingranny !!!! Don't forget to give me your adress

Steb thought it was a lot of fun to draw name and it started drawing names (but there is nothing to win !!! ) Of course, his love for pictures is legendary ...

And here is my fuchsia last night:

Kids kids kids ...

First, don't forget to enter my giveaway here! (make sure to read the post first ) TODAY IS THE LAST DAY !!!!! Emma or Steb will pick a winner tomorrow !!!!

Today I got a letter from Pierre's school telling me Pierre didn't got to tutoring on friday afternoon. So I called the school right away and the lady told me that he was reported missing that day and that she will check with him. That day, I picked him up at the same time ( 5.45 pm). When I picked him up this afternoon, I asked him what happened this past friday??? Well, I found out my "sweet" baby boy skipped tutoring on friday to spend time with one of his friend ! Little did he know that when you miss school, the teacher reports it and the school send a letter to the parents ... I was not happy at all and he got grounded: one WHOLE month without any video games (too bad winter vacations are coming on febuary 6th ...) ... he also got a lecture on how school is more important than friends ... If you just has a baby: enjoy those peaceful moments when your main problem is to get the baby on a sleep schedule As a parent, we are not prepared for pre teens and teenagers

Talking about school: Emma and Steb won't have school on thrusday as the teachers are on strike ... again They are very happy to stay home with Chuy and I ( he's been working only three days a week since last week ...so scary ...)

My fuchsia? Here they are :
