Christmas Parade

As usual, I have not posted in almost two weeks; and what a crazy two weeks it has been for us. We have had a blessed Christmas with activities, friends, food, and celebrating the birth of our Lord!

The local parade was the beginning or our Christmas festivities!



The weather was threatening rain...but that did not dampen the boys' enthusiasm for the parade!



Beads...candy...and Vexcon was the talk of this parade. We hadn't heard of Billy the Exterminator until we moved here. But he is a local and probably starting to be national celebrity. We thought we were taking a picture with him. Turns out this was his brother...



The boys were so excited that we could still get one with Billy! We are hoping this is our ticket to fame! On the way home, there was a lot of talk about "meeting someone famous" between the older boys.



Even Paige enjoyed most of the parade. She did not, however, care for the loud sirens compliments of the local police, fire, and ambulance stations.



Even though the parade was very lengthy, the boys never really lost interest - especially Eli!



Paige got pretty tired of staring at me...and was happy to have Daddy hold her so she could face out and have a better view! Don't blame her for her mismatched outfit...she needed her hat, but didn't have a clean matching outfit...Mommy's fault!
