Dec. 10: Ahhh, it’s Sunday and the end of a lovely weekend with my little and my big family. On Friday (my day off), Mom, Dad, Andrew, and I went to Olbrich Gardens to see their model train exhibit. It was really beautiful, and Andrew had a wonderful time. He couldn’t get enough of watching the trains buzz around the tracks. I think we’ll go back with Dada soon. Photos are in the gallery.
This afternoon, Michael, Bryan, Andrew, and I helped Mom and Dad pick out a Christmas tree. Michael got one too for his house. While shopping, we ran into Herr Huxmann, our old German/history high school teacher. Then we went to Rocky’s for lunch, and Michael and I helped Mom and Dad set up the tree while we watched A Muppet’s Christmas. It struck me as pretty funny that Michael and I are the two ones home these days. A flashback to 1984.
Andrew spent the weekend reading books, playing with ornaments, and having a jolly time. He loves looking at the tree, and it’s so fun to share the celebrations of the season with him. Our outdoor lights are up now (it’s warm this weekend!), and we’re about ready for our neighborhood holiday party here on Wednesday. Happy Holidays!
