We have enjoyed mild pre-winter weather, even had some outdoor family time in a local park, where Ben decided to exert his independence.
We are gearing up for Christmas, with a trip on the Santa Train this weekend, along with a visit from Aunt Jill and Uncle Adam, followed by a visit from "Granna and Papa" Perry next week all the way from "Michigan"...that mythical place! Until then, we are enjoying the new look of our mantel, and our little elves.
