Kaleidoscope Project On Location: The Great White North

Christmas in Canada - in a Nutshell

A Mountie Moose greets new arrivals at the airport.

We attend one of many yummy holiday feasts.  Two sugar-covered thumbs up to the ginger bread cookies.

I amuse myself with a shiny bulb on a designer tree.  (There was also a "reject" tree upstairs for the non-designer ornaments.)

I hold my friend's super-adorable baby, constantly asking over my shoulder, "is he crying yet?"  (Babies seem to cry as soon as they get near me.)  Btw, don't panic guys, I got permission to show baby's face from his mom.  Baby is too cute to cover up.

Said baby dresses up as Santa and slays (sleighs, hohoho) us all with his total cuteness.  That's a real "Santa Baby" right there.

We consume numerous anthropomorphic Christmas treats.

We play with my nifty new eReader from LB (Little Brother).  Thanks, LB!

Kaleidoscope Project On Location: The Great White North

As some of you may have noticed, Sarni took the photographic reins over the past few days.  That's because I was busy intrepidly exploring the Great White North (if intrepid exploration includes lots of relaxation and consumption of various yummy foods).  I did, however, go dog sledding!  No, seriously.

Summary photos to come.

A Tree Grows in Manhattan

Okay, okay, I realize Christmas is over and it's already 2011 (!!).  Let's have one last glimpse of the larger-than-life holidays as celebrated by NYC before we move into the new year.

S is for Shameless

Begging in the city is stepped up a notch to hit the "under 5" target group.

The Subtle Way to Decorate for the Holidays

It's like a really forgetful giant has strewn his Christmas decorations all over the city.

And you thought your neighbors were showy.  Pfft.

Happy New Year!  Time to get used to writing "2011"!

That's A Pretty "Good" Sign

I'm pretty sure they're trying to use the asterisks as emphasis and not quotation marks, but I really think that putting any punctuation around the word "fresh" was not the best idea.

That's Old News

So I'm thinking the newstands in Brooklyn need to update their celebrity magazines.  And did anyone else notice that the men on the covers look kind of...washed out?
