Ahhhh, the annual tree lighting ceremony at the hospital...
This year we bundled up and walked over and met up with Genia, John, Ave, Johnny and Owen.The kids had a grand time running around the grassy area in front of the tree, and Cora also enjoyed playing with baby Owen.
The weather was very wintry - scarves, hats and gloves everywhere - which added to the experience.
We're so very blessed to have such neat friends right down the street! Genia and the kids came over today to play, and it was a great way to pass a rainy morning.
On Saturday, we took Ave and Cora to Placerita Nature Center, which hosted a Christmas craft-making event. The girls had fun running around outside, and then decorated pine cones, made snowmen and strung beads together into necklaces. For $2 per craft, it was a fun morning. I also decorated a yule log with greenery, berries and tiny pine cones. 
It was really fun having Ave with us - the two girls are two years apart, and Ave is a great big sister. It was really nice for Stace and me to be out with the two girls - kind of a preview of what we have to look forward to!
After dinner on Saturday, we put up the tree and decorated the house - more on that coming soon!
