Grant's visit with Santa

Grant has been begging to go see Santa because he thought of some things he forgot to put on the list he mailed to the North Pole. We made it (even being at Starbucks) to see him and Grant was ready. He brought his airplane catalog to show him exactly what he wanted. It's a good thing there weren't any kids in line behind us because Grant had a lot to say!

Making Christmas Gingerbread Houses

Next door neighbor, Cathy Valle invited us over to make gingerbread houses with her son, Alex and his friend, Brady. We've made them in the past but this was the first year Grant really got into it. Usually he eats most of the candy and puts a few things on and then is done. This year I couldn't get him to stop putting things on it when we needed to leave!

Grant and his trusty sidekick

Grant played for hours in the leaves piled up by the wind in our yard the other day. His loyal friend, Callie, was by his side and decided to pose for the camera.

Our Eco Home

As we were eating breakfast, John noticed not only our wind turbine spinning joyfuly, but a beautiful sunrise. I ran out to grab a quick picture before school.
