The Many Cute Faces of Savannah

Decorating for Christmas.

Thanks Mononc Mike, for the beautiful custom sled from Basco Collision!
The BEST in fine vehicular painting and detailing!

I love braids!



Happy Chinese New Year!

Birthday girl!

Fun, games and one wiped out kid

Halloween was a blast this year (again!) as Savannah looked forward to wearing her princess dress, and collecting as much delicious candy as she could. She also very generously shared it, saying we didn't even need to ask to take any, because it was ours too. Wow! Nana and Papa are awesome sports: look how they dressed up for Halloween!

 

 

 Savannah loves school, but it wears her out (see how she fell asleep in her fab new chair!)

Summertime is a blast!

Savannah had a superb summer. Playground hopping, soccer (ok, that one didn't last), ballet (anytime, anywhere), camping, swimming, having fun with the whole fam damly, giggling, and getting ready to start schoolie boolie were all part of the package. Fun all the way around!

I'm Four!

Bonne Fete, Xiao Ling! Four years old already! Savannah couldn't wait for this big day, and boy, did she celebrate! With Michel, Nicky, tantes and oncles and grandparents galore, and of course with favourite little sister Tanje! She got her wish for a frog themed party, complete with a frog cake, frog hop on lilipads drawn onto a green tablecloth (thank you, buck store!), pin the tail on the tadpole, and frog hop race.

Gotcha-versary!

Three fun-filled years since Gotcha Day - unbelievable how life has changed for all of us during that time. Savannah has brought tons of joy, countless sleepless nights, lots of laughter, love, and grand times, and we're pretty sure she'd say the same from her end.  Here's to a lifetime of all that!

La Princesse et le Tigre

Sass was both a gentle princess and wild tigress for Hallowe'en! She was unusually enthusiastic about getting up in the morning, and just bananas by the time I picked her up at daycare! She, Tanje and and pal Maddyx had a blast going house to house pulled by a wagon chariot (would Sass have it any other way?!), and boy, did they ever get a lot of delicious loot! A fun fun day!

Happy Being Me

Whether she's dancing barefoot outside at 'glamp' on an amazingly hot September day,

 just sitting at home being her cute self,

 being hugged by favourite 'cousine' Vee,

 or trying hard to keep a secret from the world,

Savannah is a happy, fun, eloquent, funny, sweet, precious little gem...

Slugs and Frogs and a Very Brave Girl!

Savannah loves to catch and hold bugs (sometimes), slugs (ugh!) and frogs, impressing us and enjoying our oouhs and ahh's when we marvel at her interest in doing so! She also was very helpful in running the water for us when we camped, and at helping Tante Elaine and Tanje feed the wildlife.

Springtime Discoveries

First canoe ride! Loved it!

 Look what we found!

Thanks Grandmaman, Grandpapa, Tante, Oncle and Cousins for a fun weekend at `glamp`!

Flower Child

Sass love Tanje!

Disney!

First time at an amusement park, first time using water wings (solo!), and chasing princesses galore. This was the trip of a lifetime for Savannah!

Skiing is Cool!

Savannah shares her Maman's love for x-country skiing!

Look at her go!

 Oops!

Ah well, we all need a little rest sometimes ; )

Bonne Fete!

Our little girl is 3! Wow, faster than a New York minute, here she is! Can't believe she's a preschool-aged kid! Lucky too - she's had 3 birthday celebrations (will she get 4 next year?!) - one at Terrace Suites, where Tante Josee made her a special butterfly cupcake (thoughtful or what!) and a whole lot of fam damly was there (fantabulous!), one at the Garderie (what a great bunch!) and one at home, with Nanna and Poppa. Note the beautiful smocked dress from Nanna, and the black and red and white one from Tante Elaine.

 Savannah has also started dance lessons, and she absolutely loves them!
