Christmas Kick Off

We had a wonderful, busy, COLD weekend to kick-off the Christmas season. Friday night we went downtown to the Tree Lighting ceremony. It was FANTASTIC. They had jump castles, singing and of course Santa Claus who arrived in a helicopter. Pretty exciting!!

Sunday afternoon was the Christmas parade. It was BY FAR the coldest parade I have ever been to. Stella Ross was frozen and only lasted about 10 minutes. Rafe would not leave for anything. He might miss out on some candy. He had a blast!! Thanks to Pop and Daddy for staying behind with him while Gram and I left with Stella Ross to get a coffee!!!

Stella Ross is looking at her bottle as if to say,

"Do you think I am really going to drink that

thing out in here??"
