Holiday festivities

This weekend is a busy one. Today, the kids and I went to a gingerbread decorating event at the local preschool.  Jim was working, but I had lots of help thanks to Colleen, Duffy, Thomas, Judge, and Jen.  The kids had an absolute blast!  Sometimes I am overwhelmed by the love and support from our community. 

In the afternoon, we went downtown for the reindog parade.  It's such a fun event.  Seamus wore his beard hat!!  He was so distracted by the activity that he kept it on.  He got lots of laughs as we walked in the parade. 

Josie, on the other hand, did not keep her saddle on.  It kept flopping over so we just ended up taking it off.  Her antlers were a beard at one point, too.

While we were waiting to start the parade, we saw Santa!!!  He came over to say hello.  The kids were thrilled.  He was very sweet.  His oldest "elf" is in a wheelchair. 

It was a super fun day.  Tomorrow we get our Christmas tree.  This is going to be a very fun Christmas season.  I think Seamus' excitement will be very contagious.
