Waterscape

When I saw that Grandma had settled Kaelyn at the dining room table with paints, brushes and a big piece of paper, I decided it looked too fun not to join her. Together we created waterscapes. Hers is on the top left; mine is on the bottom right.

The number of carolers from our church was lower than usual at the Dow Gardens Christmas Walk this year, but we still managed to drink some hot chocolate at the Cookie House afterwards.

Cookies

Cookies at our annual cookie exchange
Even though my brothers aren't invited to our annual cookie exchange, they are always very supportive of the event. You can probably guess the reason.
