I had the honor and pleasure of spending some time with my grandsons while their parents had some much earned alone time. We learned a little more about each other and shared some secrets that Mom and dad don’t really need to know about. (don’t worry-nothing serious).
I still have a lot to learn about this site. Next time I’ll have some videos…
Meanwhile, 45 days until spring!!!
I’m borrowing from Amy, our photographer…

They are on to us.
Christmas festivities started Christmas Eve with a little get together with the St.Pierre and Peterson families at Amy’s house. Christmas morning I visited Amy and Greg . The boys were so excited. Nick got all the Legos he wanted and Tim got his Imaginex. They both got a dune buggy to tool around the yard in. Lots of fun. Dinner at my house with St. Pierres and Petersons.
Round 2 started on Friday night when Jess and John and 3 kids in tow arrived from Massachusetts. Saturday(New years Eve) was our combined Christmas-Jess’bday and New Year celebration. Needless to say, the kids were “in the spirit”
We need a bigger couch!
Happy New Year!
The boys(Tim, Soren, and Bodie ) had some free time today so we decided to do a little baking. We rolled and cut out some neat shapes. The boys REALLY enjoyed decorating!( How’s your sweet tooth?) We also tried our hand at quick festive pretzels. They tasted better than they looked.
A fun time! This is for the memory book.
Santa made an early visit to the Peterson’s tonight. He sang songs and read a story to the children. Great job, Santa!
I’m trying not to stress this season so I’m listening to continuous Christmas music on the radio. I LOVE those songs. I guess because they remind me of carefree youth. I used to sing in a children’s choir and we always sang the favorites complete with 3 part harmony. It was wonderful. So… it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas.
I LOVE lights.. white ones that look like crystals. Lights are magical. Turn off the big lights and turn all the small lights on and listen to your Christmas music .
Oh, yeah. You’ve gotta watch at least one of the feel good Christmas movies. Corney, yes! But it leaves you feeling happy.
Enjoy the season for all of its good things…
The Christmas parade and our annual “ cutting of the tree” got us all in the holiday spirit.
Of course, everyone enjoys a candy cane treat
