The boys' great-grandparents invite them every year to decorate cookies, and I love this little tradition of theirs. GG and I made the cookies, and while the shapes didn't turn out too well, everyone still enjoyed decorating them. Finn would decorate one cookie, then eat it, then decorate another, eat it again, rinse and repeat. The sugar high is kicking in... We had such a great morning with them, and I hope the boys will have the opportunity for memories like these with them for years to come.
For the last few years the boys didn't want to go to the Christmas event at the train park anymore, and I was sad that our days for this were over. Surprisingly when we went to visit the park during the day a few weeks ago, I asked them one more time if they wanted to go for the Christmas lights, and they both said yes! This was a fun parenting moment. We had driven to the park about 25 minutes, and then realized that Finn didn't bring any shoes. So if you look really closely, you'll see he had to go with socks...haha. We got some treats and boarded the train! This kid is full of funny expressions. We all enjoyed seeing the lights on the train. No personality at all...haha. After the train ride, we went into the miniature train museum and got some food. It was a great night, even without shoes!
