Pre-Christmas December 2013

 A boy with his gun and cat.
 Annie gave this to the boys and an advent calendar. Parker was THRILLED to make this. Trains and treats, two of his favorite things!
 He made me do the icing just like the box.
 It was really funny watching the boys try to eat them.


 A quick picture for my parent's Christmas card.

 The Holiday Train goes across the country and just so happens to stop in Loretto, where Annie lives. The train side opens up and bands play music. They had a food drive and bonfires, free hot cocoa and cookies. It was sub-zero and in the choas of loading the van, we forgot the boys coats. We had everything but the coats; hats, snow pants, gloves, scarfs, mittens and boots. We did however have their blankets in the car. Being the heartless parents that we are, we figured they would survive.
 We didn't stay too long and then headed over to Annie's for dinner with my parents.
 Annie was sweet and had gifts for the boys.


 Parker's preschool had a Christmas program. They sang some songs and did a book exchange. Parker did some of the hand motions but didn't sing. Courtney had just come in town and came with me.

 The last year of the Hollidazzle Parade. We are sad to see it go. Apparently, so was everyone else because it was way more crowded than previous years. Dad was sick, but we picked up Mom and Courtney.

 Things got silly on the ride home when we shared cookies and a rice krispy treat. Courtney started teasing me about something and when I argued back Parker said, "Mom, let's all calm down" it was pretty funny.
 No time for dinner, the boys have a lot of work to do on their computers!
