One of our favorite things to do is go to the Christmas parade and fireworks. This year it was a windy 10* out but we pressed on. We brought the Burley cart inside to warm up. We then dressed the kids in many layers and packed them in indoors. It worked great. The only thing we didn't anticipate with T's complete unwillingness to wear her mittens. By the time we got home they were little rocks and caused her much pain as they thawed. We now put Brandon's athletic socks on her hands and run the socks all the way up her arm. They totally get the job done, even if they are not as cute as her mittens.
M: I am plenty warm. T: Don't even try to put mittens on me! |
M: "The first gift of Christmas!" (I thought that was a perfect use of the quote from Polar Express) |
M: This is so awesome I can't stop to pose for a photo. |
M: Here it goes! |
We tried to take some Christmas Card photos in our classic spot, but we didn't produce any awesome shots. We ended up going with a family photo from the summer photo shoot even if our kids have grown quite a bit.
T: Since everyone else is smiling I need to puff out my cheeks and stare! |
...And this is what most of the photos looked like! |
Part of the crew singing in the halls. M is in the middle of everyone. |
Our last stop... the troops were getting restless. |
T: I am 22 months old and mommy remembered to take a photo of me in the chair! M: Say cheese mommy! |
M: I am a great big brother. T: I am ready to be done here mom. |
M: You can come over every day K! |
T: "Mow" (more meatballs after eating about 4) "Chee" (Cheese! This is what she loves to do when we ask her to smile) "By you" (Her favorite phrase! She wants the bear to sit by her.) |
