Cookie Delivery

Naomi, Selah and I took cookies to our neighbor, Vivian, who moved into an assisted living apartment a few months ago. Having worked in retirement living for several years, I knew that children would liven up the place. It was amazing to watch the smiles come out. Vivian was excited to see the girls and Nomi seemed extra excited about "delivering" cookies. She talked about it all the way home, which only happens to be two minutes away, but still. I think she felt good about sharing her decorated masterpieces. And, it's fun for me to watch her experience doing nice things for other people.

On a different note, we took the girls to the Festival of Lights last night at the zoo. The crowd was thick but it was worth it.

Happy Birthday!

Today is Calley's birthday, so I'm taking the day off for some family fun. This morning we took the girls downtown to an immense holiday train display that's set up every year, which is a Cincinnati tradition for many local folks (since they've been doing it for over 60 years). Naomi loved it. Maybe it'll become a tradition for us, too.

After some big-city holiday shopping at Tower Place (well, medium-sized city shopping, I guess) and lunch at Melt in Northside, Calley is off to the salon for a pedicure. Tonight we're heading downtown to Fountain Square for some ice skating and hot chocolate.

Everybody leave a comment to wish Calley a happy birthday!

Ready, Set, Go!

Here comes Christmas, ready or not! We have been decorating in spurts - the last phase will be outside lights, which we'll hopefully do tomorrow. Nomi has enjoyed making snowflakes, hanging ornaments and decorating (& eating) cookies. Selah loves lights...as tasty treats.
