Christmas Time!

The Christmas spirit has officially hit the Gonzales household. This weekend was spent all around Christmas! First Heidi had to mail her list to Santa...she had been asking for weeks to do so! Luckily we actually got to see Santa Saturday too. Heidi asked for the Easy Bake Oven :)

After visiting Santa and Mrs. Claus - it was time to see some Christmas lights! First stop was GE - now normally we wouldn't visit GE after dark...not in the best of neighborhoods...but they have extra security during the holiday season because a lot of people come see the special GE lights. They have it tuned to music and everything. Very festive and fun.

Next stop was downtown Cleveland. GE also decorates a park there.

Today we decided to start making our cookies. I went shopping with Lucy (I'm exhausted now) and Heidi and Chris handled the cookies. We are freezing most of them for next weekend - but managed to sneak one or two...

Side note... I always love finding Heidi's little make believe play areas... I'm not sure what she was playing - but I think they were all waiting in line for the doctor. :)

 Also, today marked a milestone for miss Lucy - she had her first rice cereal... not much eating - more spitting it out and moving her tongue - but I bet by the end of this week - she might actually get some down!

We are getting closer to being ready for Christmas! This week will be a busy week preparing - but it should be a great time!!!
