Family and Friends at La Salette Shrine Christmas Lights

Today we continued to get ready for Christmas. House cleaning, organizing, wrapping and celebrating. Earlier in the day I set Andrew’s room up with Hot Wheels Wall Tracks so that he had a special place to play in his new space. We moved his changing table out a few days ago because Andrew has something special coming at Christmas and the Wall Tracks are just the beginning. He seems to like it. Watch the video to see how smart and quick he is when presented with a problem to solve.

This afternoon we went to La Salette Shrine to see the lighting of the lights. We try to go to it every year as part of our Christmas traditions. This year was a little different. We got together with my cousins and their kids as well as friends of theirs who have become friend of ours. The kids had a fantastic time. The girls were reunited and fast friends once again. Andrew tagged along as much as he could with them. He did try and hold the hand of one of our friend’s daughters but ended up holding a handful of sleeve most of the evening. The lights were excellent as always. It was sort of sad not to see Clopper the donkey there but someone made up a petition to have him removed even though he was well cared for. Well, there is still at least a story about clopper to read around the place.

After the lights everyone came over and we enjoyed pizza and games and conversation. It was a nice night, maybe a new tradition!
