Noah is more than happy to open gifts for this occasion.<\/p>\n<p>* Bring on the Christmas festivities. I love Christmas-time. So does Noah. He was thrilled to help me decorate the tree. Every year I have dreams of a tree trimming party that includes hot chocolate, Christmas music, lots of laughing and fun decorating the Christmas tree. But really? With young children? Is this possible? One child wants to throw every ball (read: ornament) he sees. The other child would have alternating meltdowns between ornament placement and said thrown balls. So rather than try cram Christmas cheer into a short evening (after dinner and before bedtime), Noah and I decorated the tree in peace, with much joy while little M. napped and Art was at work.<\/p>\n<p>* Sinterklaas at the <a href=\"http:\/\/foodpages.ca\/EuropeanDeli\" target=\"_blank\">European Deli<\/a>.
