We picked a warm day just before Thanksgiving to put up our Christmas Lights. They look really pretty and we actually ran outside at dusk with no coats on to enjoy their glow.
These are some of the masterpieces we worked on with Grandma Ellen and Papa. Let me tell you...they didn't last long. Now Tyler wanders around asking about cookies and when he is told they are all gone, he asks when Granna, Grandma E. and Papa are coming over. Think he wants to make more?
Ryan has been helping me in the kitchen for quite some time now. Almost daily. He's pretty good with pizza burgers, cupcakes, and grilled cheese sandwiches. Now Tyler wants to be the little helper. I'm so glad they like working in the kitchen. It's really cute. They are pretty good at washing their hands...but they can't help themselves from taste testing.
It was cold, but Ryan was up for the challenge! We went up to the school to sing some Carols and to partake in the tree lighting ceremony for the Village of Addison. The band played, the Santa Lucia girls performed and the Addison United Church graced us with song. Ryan and Granna and I sang along. Then we headed up to the senior center for a special visit:
Tyler was shy, at first. He was probably too tired from the long day of celebration with Hailee. Some hot chocolate and frosted cookie did the trick and soon this sweet couple had him in their arms.
