Wassailing

Wassail is an old English tradition that was performed with the intention of ensuring a good crop of apples for the next year's harvest. The English would trade and share their "apple cider" creations with neighbors and friends in hopes of bringing good cheer. (thank you wikipedia)

Frisco, CO has a tradition of carrying on this old English custom. Today we took part in this fun, exciting, and cheerful event. All the shops on Main Street were serving their own version of YUMMY Wassail, and we even got two souvenir cups to use in the process! Perhaps, The Titones will add a little Wassail to our own traditions starting this year.

Merry Christmas!

Happy Wassailing!

If you're on our X-mas Card list you'll be seeing this!

This reindeer was too neat!

It was so Christmasy up there! It put us in the spirit!

This weeks special events...

Meeting Aunt Nora

        

       This past week we were blessed by my sister in laws presence. She is a new author to the biography world and an amazing one at that! If you haven't already been "wow'ed" by her please see this (and yes, I am happy to say that is her voice...)

        Aniela was a big hit, and so was Aunt Nora! We can't wait for this summer when we can get the cousins together. They would be soooooo good together! 

Even Grace stayed still long enough.

2010 Festival of Lights Parade 

(A Tradition of Mine since I was sixteen)

 

       So we braved the cold... and the wind... WE ALMOST made it all the way through. The babe was just a tad bit too cold. Although, you wouldn't know it by my marvelous bundling job (okay minus the head gear because she refused to wear it). She didn't get to see Santa, but she really doesn't seem to care too much for him anyways (that's obvious from the previous post). LOL. 

       Auni sure loves her Aunt Steffy and preferred to sit with her over me. Once she figured out the whole cheering thing, it was amazing what we got outta that little girl. She's such a big girl. She truly loved the parade just as much as mommy! 

 

A Titone Tradition

Merry Christmas!!!

 We have started a tradition of hunting for our own 
REAL Tree each Christmas.

We wish you a Merry Christmas...

 Auni would not sit with Santa, 

I repeat DID NOT want to sit with Santa!

But... she didn't mind Mrs. Claus 

A Family Sleigh Ride: By Horse

Auni and I rode the "mini horse"!!! 

She really loved it! 

Auni and Daddy picked out a tree. 

It's purty too!

Auni helped mommy decorate the tree.

She loved the "fuzz balls"! 

She really loved decorating. 

It was so sweet!  

 Look at my necklace mommy! 

 And "It is finished!" 

  

Merry Christmas
