Getting in the Spirit

So, we pledged to ourselves that this year we would find the time to do something festive each weekend before Christmas.  Simone is well old enough now to have strong opinions on and interest in different holiday activities, so the possibilities are very fun.  Tonight we took a drive westward on route 7 and found a county park with a walking winter wonderland tour.  We practically had the whole place to ourselves and the cold weather really made it start to feel like Christmas time. 




Yes, that is Tony under there.  He was bundled up for more of an alpine ski vacation than a stroll through a park.  His tolerance level for the cold gets lower and lower each year.

Santa AND Mrs. Claus.  Simone is happy to jump right on Santa's lap these days, but she curiously doesn't have very much in mind to ask him for.  You'd think she'd keep adding to her list, but it's actually pretty meager.



We had a very nice night and grabbed some hot drinks and turned on the Christmas music for the drive back home.  It was so adorable to listen to Simone singing along and making up the words she didn't know.  Hopefully we made for her another great holiday memory.
