Ken and I took all 4 granddaughters to the Choo Choo Barn to see the exciting model train display.  It includes a 3 ring circus - the girls favorite part.  (This is the 4th year we have been going there!)  After having dinner, they watched a movie and then Bria and Cali went home and Sam and Katelyn stayed for a sleepover.  We had a sleepover with Bria and Cali and previous weekend.  Both weekends we took the girls to Wilbur Chocolate Factory near our apartment to see the special display they do every Christmas.  They have a theme and then make the figures or people out of chocolate.  They entire display is edible and amazing.

Here is the elaborate 3 ring circus!

The Choo Choo Barn experience wouldn't be complete
without sitting on Santa's knee!

Sven and Olaf are made of chocolate.  They were started and
molded using rice krispie treats!

Sam and Katelyn helped Mommy decorate for Christmas and hot chocolate was the reward for all the good help!

Love this photo

Our entire family spent Christmas Eve Day at Jamie and Dane's house.  They had a brunch, we opened gifts, spent time putting all the different Legos together, and then having a deep fried turkey for the evening meal.  It was such a delightful day!

Santa Claus did a good job of gift giving!

Ken and I went to visit Jamie's family in the morning on Christmas Day and then went to Lanie's family to see what Santa had brought all the little gals.  Santa was very generous!

Sam loved the Knight Castle she asked Santa to bring.  Ken and
I got her and Sam a Lego Princess Castle.

 

Just a few other highlights during December -

Sam visited the Dentist to have a loose primary
tooth removed since the permanent one
needed room to come in!

2 days before Christmas Lanie, Sam and Katelyn went
to Masonic homes to visit my mother and father.  They had
baked gingerbread cookies and walked the halls giving
them to the residents!  It was a good experience for everyone!

What a fun month!!!
