Once again Finn took some great photos! 

A merry Christmas morning

Happy Birthday Grandpa!

One of our favorite Maine treats this summer was making smores at the firepit. So for Grandpa’s birthday we got him   a hershey bar, graham crackers, marshmallows, and some really big forks!

“Helping” open a present from Auntie Jenny.

Very excited about the gingerbread birthday cake.

For he’s a jolly good fellow

A trainy rainy day adventure

Finn and I had quite the adventure today recreating the polar express on a mummy train. Above, Finn waits with Silky.

We read the story complete with chocolate with white centers, (cold) cocoa, and a bell. 

Then, from North Station we took the green line.

Waiting for the green line, to then take the red line to South Station!

Thanks to Grandma for the tip and David for the confirmation that the Christmas train at South Station was set up. We had a lot of fun watching this and picking out all the funny things happening.

Enjoying watching the Acela board and leave South Station.

Then back to the red line, to the green line, to the commuter line!

Checking the map to make sure we were going the right way.

Finn inspecting where the engineer stands on a pulling train.

Happy day.

 

I think Finn will enjoy this video snapshot of our day today most of all, but here is a sense of what we got up to! 

the first snow

guess Allan and I won’t need to do any shoveling this year! 

 

and the lawn ornaments make their debut

Beverly Santa Parade

The beginning of the parade is very, very loud with all the fire trucks…but at least this year there were no tears!

Cecelia and Aidan joined us.

This mailman was handing out candy not mail – very exciting!!!

Thanksgiving Delivery

this seems to be an annual tradition!
