'Tis the Season

Friday evening the Grandgirls are to spend the night so we can make Gingerbread! This is a tradition Lizzie wants carried on and I gladly agree!

 Lizzie was lecturing as if she was the star of a cooking show!

 Ellie was determined, as always, to keep p with her!

I will need to update the photos as these Grandgirls are now 12 and 8 Years old!

Then Saturday morning the group of 5 kiddos and various parents will be here to decorate Pop and Grammy's tree. It has become usual for the celebration to be held here since our house has the most room for the 12 or so of us to gather around the tree and food! So this year I asked to begin a new tradition of having them help decorate our tree. These old arthritic hands are not as robust as they used to be! Hopefully this will be a joyous occasion finished off with pizza for lunch!
Sunday afternoon/evening we plan to go to the Cincinnati Zoo for the Festival of Lights. Here's a few pics from last year!

Hope your Christmas preparations are joyous!
