My daughter and I spend some quality time at our town's Christmas Fair. We met neighbors and new friends, including what I think might be a snow-monster as well as a giant reindeer. The shops in the downtown section of Pasadena had all sorts of free samples and holiday activities going on--very festive

It was so much fun, and the perfect setting for a memorable daddy-daughter date. Such times are very important in parent-child bonding. I need them just as much as the kids need them. I'm so grateful for these times and I know my kids are as well. One of the highlights of the afternoon included meeting some Christmas carolers who sang an amazing four-part harmony rendition of Silent Night. To top it off these skilled singers were gloriously dressed in 18th century London garb. It was as if we stepped into a time machine.

Also memorable was the gingerbread cookie decorating station. We made some fancy designs with icing, sprinkles and other candies to adorn a gingerbread Star of David as well as the traditional gingerbread man.

A pleasant afternoon was needed this day, and that is exactly what we received, thanks to God!

That sounds like a lot of fun! Before I clicked on your link I thought the snowman was actually made of snow, but then I realized that's not possible in Pasadena... I would have sent you some snow from Chicago, but we actually don't have any snow right now. It's kind of weird.

Great powers of deduction!

So adorable! Such great memories you both will have :)
