Grandma Harriet Comes to Town

Grandma Harriet arrived in MN this year for a two week visit for the holidays. Her first week in town was filled with a lot of fun activities...

On the night of her arrival, Canyon had his first middle school band concert. It was awesome to see him all dressed up. The band is really maturing and they were able to play both traditional and contemporary songs (like Poker face).




We waited to decorate the tree with Grandma Harriet. It was fun to have the kids pull out their ornaments and debate who's turn it was to put Santa on top of the tree. It was Canyon's turn but for the first time he was too big to get on to Dad's shoulders. Wow do they grow up fast!




Grandma Harriet also continued her tradition of making gingerbread cookies with the kids...




We treated Grandma Harriet to a Christmas show at the Chanhassen Dinner Theater. We enjoyed a nice dinner in the "cavern" and then smiled and laughed at the holiday comedy with great skits and great music...



We enjoyed our traditional christmas eve dinner with Barbara and the Abbeys a couple of days earlier this year. We decorated gingerbread cookies and had a fun gift exchange game. The highlight of the evening was singing Christmas carols because this year both Ryan and Canyon participated in playing the Christmas carol songs (in addition to Ron)...




This week Presley also enjoyed a secret santa party with her hockey team...
