Sledding

The boys decided to go sledding this year to make the most of the heavy snowfall. Last year, there was hardly any, so they were not able to do it. Tonicci was so happy and exhausted at the same time. He really loves playing in the snow!

Merry Christmas!!

Tonicci loves helping decorate our small Christmas tree. We also put up some of the ornaments he made at school and at home. Merry Christmas!

Christmas concert

At the school's Christmas concert, Tonicci was chosen to be one of the wise men. He was not able to sing songs with his class on stage, instead he stood on the side while the other children from his school performed.

That same week, the Kindergarden teachers decided to hold a private concert just for the two classes where parents can attend. The kids sang 3 Christmas carols. So cute!

Great Wolf Lodge

On his birthday, we picked up Tonicci after lunch from school to go to Great Wolf Lodge in Niagara Falls. 

Tonicci had soooo much fun- he said it was his best birthday ever ( thank God he forgot about the Spider Man party he was begging for)! The place was decorated so nicely for Christmas and when we got there, we were just in time for the arrival of Santa Claus! Tonicci enjoyed going to the arcade, the bedtime story for the kids, and of course the water park (it was hard to make him come out of the water)!

Even if it was simple celebration (and the fact that we got sick when we returned to Torornto), we are so happy that he had a great birthday. Happy birthday sweetie!!!

Happy 5th birthday love

Dear Tonicci,

You have been our pride and joy for 5 years now. Thank you for giving mommy and daddy sooo much love and happiness. We didn't know that we are capable of loving someone this much. We may not be able to give you all the material things that you want, but what's important is that we validate to you every single day how much you mean to us and how much we love you.

Our countless hugs and kisses everyday are always cherished.  The way you light up our mornings is just priceless. Every night, before going to bed, our family time will always be the highlight of our day.

You have grown up to be such a good, smart and fine boy. Thank you for choosing to stay with us (you know what this means) and we're always behind you as you unfold what life has in store for you.

Happy 5th birthday and many, many more to come!

A day of parties!

First stop was the Via Rail Christmas Party then Mayon's 5th birthday bash. Tonicci had a blast! Highlights were: when he received a gift from Santa AND partying with some of his school friends at Mayon's ninja party.
