Getting Ready for Christmas

We've unfortunately had a lot of illness in our home for the past week. We are getting it out of our systems for our upcoming trip to Colorado! However, last week we were all well and very busy getting ready for Christmas! Our CBS Childrens' Program had their annual Christmas music program and Bruce was in it! It was his first Christmas program ever! There's a video below, but don't get too excited. I think he had stagefright. Bruce also had a Christmas party and book exchange at "school" and we were in the Weatherford Christmas parade with our MOPS group. It was a chilly day but was great fun! Autumn was there too, but stayed wrapped up in a blanket and out of the wind. Maybe she'll get a chance to perfect her parade wave next year.

Huge smile!
Autumn's very smiley now - it's so much fun!

He just wants to do whatever Daddy is doing




Chloe figured out that Bruce isn't the only cuddly kid to snuggle up with




Our award-winning float for the Christmas parade (or we should have won if we didn't. I actually haven't found out yet!)




Bruce had a great time riding on the float. We were waving and yelling "merry Christmas". Now if you ask him to say "Merry Christmas" he just waves. Definitely destined for fame! :)




View from the float - you can see the old courthouse in the distance.

Before the Christmas program began - maybe he has butterflies in his tummy.

Okay, so at least he rang his jingle bells a bit!

Our next post will be from sunny (and hopefully snowy) Colorado! Merry Christmas, everyone!
