A couple weeks ago we attended the parade downtown... while it was fun, I'm not sure it's worth the wait. We may be finding a small town parade to attend next year. It's rather difficult to entertain a 1 yr old for 40 minutes just waiting on it to start. She did seem to enjoy it for the most part though.

| AR waved at at many of the floats and people as they went by. |

| I believe this was when we saw Santa coming |
We were able to get our house decorated when we returned from Thanksgiving. This year we broke down and bought a fake Christmas tree. Real ones give me sinus infections and my husband was nice enough to forgo the real ones for my health. I was also in a purging mood while decorating and was able to get rid of over a storage tote full of old decorations!
 |
| Our tree and presents... though a couple are birthday presents which is why they might stand out! |
 |
| Nativity, mantle, and advent calendar. I've decided to wait until next year to start the advent calendar as AR is still too young to do most activities. |
 |
| Our Christmas card display. I LOVE checking the mail in December! |
Other happenings:
 |
| AR has been very interested in our snowman and Santa that go in front of the fire place. I often find them moved somewhere else and usually facing the wall as if they are in time out... which I've never done that type of time out with her. |
 |
| So the other day AR refused her nap and this is what I turn around to find at supper time. |
 |
| A friend returned our jumping exersaucer and AR wanted to get in it which was so funny b/c she's sooo big. She could literally stand on her knees in it! |
 |
| She still enjoyed playing in it for the time being though. |
 |
| Learning the ways of tools with Daddy. |
 |
| AR managed to get in the dryer and get stuck... I did know she was doing this so don't think I'm a horrible mom and just found her this way! We try to keep the door shut now! |
