Dec. 22: We’ve been doing a lot of fun things to get ready for Christmas. Our refrigerator is covered with containers of cookies and candies. The tree is filling our living room with pretty lights. Last week we had our neighbors over for our annual cookie exchange. A couple weeks ago, we went to Olbrich Gardens with my dad to see the holiday trains. On Sunday, my dad took me and Andrew to A Christmas Carol. It was Andrew’s first play (or movie for that matter), and he did wonderfully. He wore his tie and looked adorable. What a fun afternoon we all had! Photos of some of our holiday preparations are in the gallery!
