Last year Lila didn't mind Santa, she was still young enough to go to just about anyone and be content. This year I was a bit fearful of what she would do as she is exhibiting a bit of "stranger danger!" She did okay, not as bad as I thought she would, she was definitely reaching for Mommy & Daddy, but no tears! We always have such a nice time at the TrueNorth event, it was fun making a craft ornament for Lila marking the 2010 Christmas season that will hang on the tree this year!
Today we hoped in the car and headed north to Strawberry Point to visit my Grandma and Grandpa Harvey for our 4th Annual cookie baking! This is a very special tradition in my family because it is a girls trip that I do with my sister-in-law, two nieces and three of my very best friends!
Learning the mixer!This was a special year because it was Lila's first year to be a part of the fun! Mike headed to the Green Bay Packers game, so we loaded her up and off we went! She did really good despite not having a nap and adjusting to all of the commotion! After a couple hours of baking, some really delicious homeade pizza and lots of frosting and sprinkles we had oodles and oodles of cookies to enjoy!
The end product!
The baking crew!We have so much fun together and the memories only get better and better as we are growing up and able to share the traditions with each other and our growing families! We are already looking forward to next year!
