This time of year is busy for all of us...but we have filled our days with such fun...the Mom is working so Papa and Nana get to go to the preschool Christmas party...
Jillian was excited! She knew Nana was coming, but Papa was a surprise!
Chloe is her favorite playmate...she goes to her house when Mommy works!
Papa sat in the corner during play time and read a book to the girls...and...
before long he had a crowd...Papa always attracts a crowd when he opens a book!
Later in the week, we headed to Duluth for an overnight getaway...
This was not a welcome sight on the roads, but...
the trees were beautiful with the snow hanging off their branches!
We arrived in Duluth and stayed down in Canal Park. We shopped, went to dinner, relaxed...and walked on the lakefront at night...
The famous lift bridge on Lake Superior...the bottom of the bridge lifts from both ends...straight up when a large boat comes into the harbor...it's a neat thing to see!
We continued on our walk for about 3 blocks to our destination...
Bentleyville...Tour of Lights 2012!
That's me waving with my hot chocolate...the huge tree is actually behind the sign! The tree stood 128 feet tall and the lights blinked to the music!
Here's my companion for the evening....Papa! It was cold, but we had so much fun.
One of the exhibits...dinosaurland...
The Nativity all in lights.
There were lots of families in the park with little ones...we decided that next year we need to bring some of our little ones to see the lights!
I'll write again next week with highlights of our Christmas with 10 grandchildren and their parents!
Merry Christmas...let's not forget that Babe in the manger who was born so many Christmases ago...so that we could live in Him!
