DiTore's Take on Disney

Rich and Lindsay have been in town for the holidays and they got us all tickets to Disney through Rich's work. The last time we all went together was when Clark was about 1 year old and therefore before all the other grandkids. It was a great day, with beautiful weather, until the very end when it started to rain.

Christmas Cookies

We usually make Christmas cookies with grandma and great gram every year, but this year we never got around to it. So instead we made cookies tonight with Nana and Aunt T. Bella loved rolling the dough and pressing the cookie cutters down.

Picking out the cutters

 After we changed clothes and put our hair up we got started

we had breakfast with Santa at Brio's for the second year in a row 

we also took in some beautiful light displays

and we ended the weekend by going to Brandon's Christmas Pageant
