Grandpa's Little Helper and more December fun!

Jack has been having a great time with his Papa, especially since Josh has been gone. It is special to see him bond with his grandpa and respect his authority as the head of this household! Dad calls Jack his "buddy" and has been a huge help to me with keeping Jack busy. One of the fun things they've done together is cut the grass! Jack even wore his "Grandpa's Little Helper" hat!
Jack also loved watching Papa put up the Christmas lights and was thrilled to see them light up at night! We miss Josh so much, but I am glad Jack is getting to enjoy some of the fun leading up to a Christmas like the ones I grew up with! (But we really can't wait to see Josh in a few weeks!!!!!)
We've also had lots of fun with aunts and uncles! We got to pick out a Christmas tree with almost everyone (and Uncle Nick had fun making Tessa an ornament!) and later that night we went to see the town of Glendale decked out for Christmas with lots of lights!
And one more fun thing of the season....Peppermint Mocha Frappucinos at Starbucks! (Jack loves them, so we get the decaf kind...only once in a while for a treat!)

What a great update! I love all of the pictures :) Glendale Glitters is always so much fun, and even better that everyone was able to go! The tree you picked looks like a big one! I hope you have a very Merry Christmas.
