A Birthday, Kites, and Santa

Grandma Jean's 90th birthday celebration.
Doesn't she look great?


The Smith clan.


There was an awesome playground at a school across the street from the house we rented. Zach was thrilled to have "park weather" and would drag us there every chance he got, especially Calvin and Calli. C3 and Zach were a great match with their endless energy.


Joy.


Flying a kite for the first time. He liked it for awhile, but the allure of the playground was too great.


That evening we went to see the Christmas lights at Tildon Park (I think that's what it was called?), above Berkeley.


They had an enormous tree with lights.
The wonder.


Another carousel that he rode 4 times. Yes, 4. This time there were even more relatives there to wave and smile and he loved it even more.


And a visit with Santa. He did well while he was thinking about the basket of candy canes by Santa's feet. Then the concern grew. No tears though, so I call it a success!
