Happiness is indeed homemade. Sure, the cookies were gluten-free - but fun for all to make, tasty for some to eat and a great memory maker for a family.
MOMENT: "C" is for Cookie, That's Good Enough for Me
Three seasonal bakers hit the kitchen for some festive creating that Tavish would be able to eat. It was so much fun, that we don't have any photos of the finished products to show for it. However, Tavish did serve a "G", "D", "M" and "T" gingerbread cookie to Grandpa, Daddy, Mommy and Tavish respectively for dessert after our Bedford Christmas dinner. Tavish alone has since enjoyed the occasional gingerbread tree cookie from time to time. He sure is pleased with himself when he eats them and his smile stretches across his face ... all with the perk of being wheat-absent. Guess it's true what the bible says "You shall eat the fruit of the labour of your hands: you shall be happy, and it shall be well with you." Psalms 128:2.

Feeling the Spirit of the Season
The seasonal spirit was in full swing at the NAC (National Art Centre)'s free Christmas orchestra concert on December 11th. Tavish began as a mere witness and evolved into a dancing, clapping, violin playing and singing participator. Guess that's the power of Christmas music for you!
MOMENT: Learning and Joining-in
Tavish seemed excited to learn the words to a new song and joined in where he felt he could. May the music infect you with the spirit of the season the way it did with our toddler ...

Urban Tree Farm
'Tis the season for Christmas tree picking. Fortunately for us (mostly for Tom and Tavish), we live just a short walk away from the Market where we could hunt for our very own Christmas tree without breaking our ... er, um ... their ... backs.
MOMENT: If a Tree Hauls in the City, Does Anybody Hear?
Tavish picked out our Christmas tree. His choice was obviously unassisted as it is the kind that is "the most expensive tree" they had, but it was small. Besides, what the heck? It's Christmas ... the tree of choice is not the place to Ba Humbug, right?
