December


Met our friends and we were late so there wasn't enough time to warm up to Santa and sit on his lap.  Grant did hand him a candy cane so he wasn't as afraid as the year before.  We went to one of the Disney hotels where they take your picture for free
Our bucket list printed from Pinterest. 



Decorating cookies at one of our Meet-ups. Grant doesn't usually do the crafts, he plays with the other kids but this one he was really interested in.  Kind of like painting so I guess thats why.





Meet-up where we brought our own tree and made decorations and enjoyed our new friends, hot cocoa and treats

Grant helping Daddy and Grandma Rita put up Xmas lights

We went to a Xmas tree lot and Grant spotted his xmas shaped tree cone and carried it around everywhere

He walked everywhere with the cone

And the man gave it to us!

Grant has a special tractor and dump truck ornament and he must of said tractor 100 times and stood by the tree forever looking at it.

Then he got his toy tractor and introduced it to the tractor ornament



Notice the cone from the xmas tree lot and now he is showing his bear the tractor ornament on the tree

Naples boat parade with his friends Mario and Coen. Had dinner at McKennas on the Bay where we could stay warm and inside watching the boat parade but we eventually went outside



Helping bake cookies for Santa

Cookies for Santa and his reindeer along with our Advent calendar with an M & M in each door.  Lesson learned, too much chocolate everyday for 25 days. Next year have to mix it up with a toy or some other idea. We ran out of chocolate several days before xmas.



Showing his cat all of his cars

We had Daves tricycle restored.  It had been sitting in the garage upside down for 30 years rusting and the handle bars were bent.
