We had a nice day today (12-20)visiting Oma, Grandad, Aunt Martha and Kyla today! We met in Canton and had lunch at a great little place called Canton Square Bakery and Cafe. If you are ever in Canton it is worth a stop. It is right across from the court house. Poor Max was sick so he and David could not come.
Since we would not be together for Christmas we met in the middle and exchanged our Christmas gifts to take back and open on Christmas day. I wish I had my camera.. there were so many great photo ops there at the courthouse with the Peanuts characters and other Christmas decorations. The kids are going wild with excitement!! But I can't put the gifts under the tree yet because Joshey has been ripping them open prematurely
Oh that reminds me....I need to send out Christmas cards. It's probably too late to get there by Christmas. I am so bad about that. I don't think I did it last year. I printed out a cute picture last year but never mailed them. Maybe I could put them in this years late card. HA! When will I get it together?!! Oh probably when the kids leave the house. Or at least when Joshey is about 5...I keep telling myself.
After we left Canton we decided to go make a quick trip to the zoo and take advantage of our season passes. The weather was in the 70's today...perfect for zoo walking! We all had a great time. The kids were disappointed that Santa was not in his workshop(Even though they have seen him twice already this year), but they did get to make some cute Christmas tree ornaments there.
We have really been enjoying listening to Handel's Messiah this year. I sang it each year in High School so I have fond memories of it. I think it is becoming a Christmas tradition..(smile)..It is so fun to see Callie dance around the house singing, "For unto us a child is BOR, hu, hu, hu, hu, hu.... N. If you have heard it you know what I mean! I have it on a playlist on youtube so we can watch all the parts together here:

We have had lots of festive holiday merry making this month, going to several Christmas parties, looking at light displays, and visiting Santa. Here are some pics of the kids visiting Santa at the courthouse.
