He loved the big display, but also really enjoyed playing with the Thomas set. We probably stayed at the museum for 2 and a half hours and, of course, when we said it was time to go, Tyler quickly replied "no Mommy I want to stay here forever."
We then went to a new place for us, Sorrentos. This was just as fun for us as the museum. The restaurant was SO accommodating and understanding and answered all the questions we had with great patience and willingness. I was amazed at how welcome they made us feel. The food was delicious. The boys were so well behaved and it will definitely be a place we hopefully frequent in the future.
I was talking to Mom late in the afternoon and she invited us over for a spur of the moment tree decorating party. It was a perfect way to end such a special day. Tyler and Matty were both in such great moods. (it's so nice to finally have our usual happy, nice boys back!) Tyler really did help with all the ornaments and was equally excited about each one. Pat, Willa, and Bea were able to make it too. And Tyler kept singing all of his Christmas songs and seemed to especially like jumping out of the huge plastic bin that Mom used to store the ornaments.
I love how this has become a new tradition of sorts. Decorating their tree is tons of fun to do with the three generations. Grammy and Baca are always in the best mood and this year is so magical with Tyler really believing in the magic of the season. What a joy it is to experience Christmas with your children and your parents. I feel so blessed.
