Over the river and through the woods to grandmother's Through the tunnel and under the bay to Joe and Jo's house we go. I know it's pretty sad...but I couldn't help myself. Even sadder...we didn't actually go to their house, but we did go to their neighborhood! We met them at The Avenue for lunch and a bit of shopping.
 |
| I snapped this photo at the end of our day together. |
 |
A little shopping and reading at Barnes & Noble. Love the photo of Elijah reading to
Charlotte and Penelope. |
 |
| Lulu did some shopping too...at A.C. Moore with her momma. |
 |
| Shopping for a blanket at Pier 1...Elijah was testing the warmth of it in this photo. |
 |
| Dinner at Red Brick Station, with free coloring books from one of the stores we stopped at. |
 |
My two favorite photos from this family outing. Caleb does not often 'engage' with me...this
little bit of playing with him was so wonderful. Elijah LOVES Lulu...this shows it perfectly! |
 |
| Charlotte hugging a duck, Penelope riding a duck, and Elijah enjoying it all. |
 |
| Inspecting the giant tree and it's ornaments. |
 |
The giant tree...with soldier and drum. Caleb liked the drum way more than he liked
posing for a photo. |
 |
| Hugging the soldier. |
 |
Couldn't resist sharing these two photos. Lulu was well bundled up during our family outing, and
later that night she was hanging out under her Christmas tree. |
Three days later I got to join Charlotte at her school. Her kindergarten class was making gingerbread houses and I volunteered to help.

 |
| Don't you love the heart on the roof?! |
 |
My favorite part is this stack of gummy Lifesavers
on a pretzel. When I asked her what this was she said,
"gummy Lifesavers on a pretzel". : ) |
I love having this blog....it's really helping me to remember the fun times my family has together, among so many other good things. I sometimes find myself thinking that maybe I share this kind of stuff too often. But then I remember that this is my blog, my journal, my memories...I should blog about what I want to blog about. And right now I want to 'document' December 2013 and all the good times we had. So it's still gonna Christmas around here for a bit.
Someday I'm going to get my blog printed into books...6 months in each book. In July 2014 I'll be celebrating 6 years of blogging! That'll mean 12 books full of fun!!
I best get busy on those books!
