It’s amazing how having everyone looking at the camera *and* catching two kids smiling at the same time helps make a decent photo!
November 11 – Remembrance Day in Canada is Singles Day (aka 11/11) in China so we usually buy a few things direct from sites like AliExpress on what is China’s equivalent of Black Friday to get our Christmas shopping started. November 12 – Remembrance Day is over so I can officially start getting into the Christmas […]
Did I ever post this before? So much cuteness – the dad singing with his daughter to keep her from being scared of fireworks, the daughter keeping thinking she hears them, her ragtime voice at the end, how the dad ducks behind her as the song ends so the camera focuses purely on his daughter […]
