I can't believe that Bean is now 10 years old! She's really starting to slow down, and to celebrate her birthday, she lost a tooth. :( She's started to grunt a lot at everyone and prefers to just hang out and watch instead of always playing. Happy Birthday Bean!!!
Merry Christmas!
Another failed attempt
Grizwald Christmas!
Went downtown to have breakfast at the Walnut room and for Lily to see Santa. This was her second time visiting Santa this year. She did great sitting in line for about an hour, and then we got to see Santa and she started to cry. I felt so bad for her. It didn't help that the Santa wasn't interactive at all, it was so not worth the wait. The pictures of the tree don't do it justice, it was very beautiful! We didn't spend much time looking at the window displays this year as you really had to read them and they didn't have much movement, so Lily wasn't interested. I hope she has a better experience next year with Santa.
We made our yearly trip to see The Christmas Carol and Lawry's as another Janzen family tradition. This year the play was a little different than years past, but we all still loved it. It's nice to see the little changes when you go and see it every year. It's always a great time. Michael wasn't feeling well the night before and he was a little worried he was going to miss out. He was a champ and made it on Saturday, and had no problems eating at Lawry's.
We decorated sugar cookies with Lily and she had a great time. She had to keep "trying" them, to make sure they were ok. I can't wait to see what she's like next year with them. We never got around to making a gingerbread house, there's always next year.
Cheese!
Cleaning up!
