Yesterday I finally made it to the Pickering Market.  I had heard that there were some shops there that had reasonable pricing on expensive sweaters.  (Seconds).  
So I went and got two new sweaters.  It was buying not shopping.  That is so much easier with two kids in tow.  We did however make an impulse fresh donut purchase.  Mmmmm, hot donuts shaken in icing sugar.  

After much patients at the market, I took the kids to Home Depot where Hadley made a picture frame.  She loves doing the crafts there.  She got another pin for her apron.  Easton wished he could participate but sat FaIrLy patiently on the sidelines.  

In the afternoon we all went out for a hike as a family. It was a beautiful day and we were really glad to enjoy this time outdoors together.

Then we came home and got ready for the Santa Claus Parade.  Easton didn't nap well so he actually fell asleep on the way to the parade and slept through most of it.  He did wake up for Santa though!
Hadley enjoyed the outdoors with Norah, Connor, Hannah and Luke.  
Hadley counted the candy canes that she received.  Seven. :)
Annie brought hockey sticks with a glow ball and the kids quite enjoyed it as they waited for the parade to start.  A great idea!  
I love that the parade has real reindeer in it.  I think that is my favorite part!

Today we did stuff around the house and after the cleaning there was baking, and thawed Ontario strawberries from June.  Easton had his first strawberry and LOVED them!

Overall a decent weekend.
