Christmas fun with Papa!

Papa (my father in law) is staying with us for a bit of holiday cheer and we've kept him busy with nonstop adventures. Today we ventured to Frederik Meijer Gardens to tour the Christmas trees from around the world, and enjoy the railroad garden.

We even discovered that he has a hidden talent of sugar cookie decorating!


Who knows.
Maybe I'll even get him working on a holiday
CRAFT project with the girls!!

XOXO

Ah, the photos of your FIL with the hat are adorable. They all look so cute together, decorating the cookies. One of my favorite holiday memories is decorating the cut out cookies. Wish I enjoyed them more now, but they just take so darn long to make.

So glad that you are able to spend time with your FIL. The matching chefs hats are so cute, what a great sport he is! I've never been to the gardens, but I've heard how wonderful they are. I sure so miss shopping at Meijer!

je suis heureuse pour vous de partager de si bons moments. Le park a l'air très sympa. Et la bête qui est dans l'enclos, c'est quoi ? un renne, un un karibou ou autre ? En France, on n'a pas ce genre d'animal.
