Glorious Park Weather

Christmas is only two days away. The solstice has passed, so winter has officially begun. But today in Dallas it's 77 degrees. The Greenman boys spent some of the sunshine hours at the park. Charlie's big new feat is taking the slide on his own! He is delirious with independence these days, especially at Coffee Park, where the whole place is outfitted for disabled kiddos. Here's a look:

Cousin Quinn

We've had three visits from Cousin Quinn in the past month. It's been so great getting a little face time with this guy. He just turned 19 and has been working in Oklahoma with AmeriCorps. Now he's off to other things. Best of luck, cousin Quinn!

Just look at all of these Greenman men!

Decking the Halls

Last weekend while Charlie was fast asleep in his bed, Jack, Walker and I took the opportunity to decorate our Christmas tree, put out the stockings and deck our halls. Walker was very excited to set up his Victorian village scene. When we dug into our Christmas boxes, the first thing Walker found and quickly tried on, was Grandma Betsy's Santa hat. I think it suits him. Here are some quick photos of our growing eight-year-old boy decorating for Christmas.
