The first weekend in December we took Cade to the annual Tacoma Lawn and Tennis Club Santa Pictures & Pancake Breakfast at the tennis club. It was the perfect setting for this first Santa meeting - there was no line, so upon arrival we got right in to get our pictures done. They had a ton of fun projects for the kids - tennis ball ornaments, cookie decorating, popsicle stick ornaments and many more. I made Cade a tennis ball ornament - I am using this as his "First Christmas" ornament. I was the only adult at this table making these with the kids - I was laughing at myself but had fun doing it.
Today Cade and I spent the day with my mom and grandma at her home in Woodinville. It is so fun to see my Grandma getting to be a Great Grandma. Cade is the first great grand baby in the family and I love seeing her reactions to him growing each time she sees him. We enjoyed looking at family pictures (one of her favorite things), a walk in the beautiful fall sunshine and delicious lunch at Bear Creek. I am so grateful for my family. I look forward to many more days like today with both of them.
