Annual Christmas Parade~

We got a little smidge of snow~

 and enjoyed the Christmas parade with the kids~

Parties Galore~ Happy Birthday 74th Birthday!

My Mom's birthday was Saturday and we had the Martin Dairy Christmas party
so we took pictures with her~

 and enjoyed being together so much that Max and Addie came home with us for the afternoon~

We saved her birthday party for Sunday and she cherished every single card they made for her~

 After partying, we all went to our hometown Christmas parade~

It was a BIG weekend with lots of Christmas parties, Birthday celebrations, and dinner guests. We loved every minute of it!!!

Parade of Lights~

In keeping with holiday tradition, we met Jason's family last night to watch the Parade of Lights~

 And like many other events this year...

This was Payne and Evie's FIRST Christmas Parade.

It is often so hard to prepare them for what they will experience.

Like a Christmas parade???

It is just a matter of doing it~

Look at the cute glasses boys!

Payne LOVED the firetruck.

Evie loved gathering the candy after she got over the shock of the loud sirens.

Great time had by all and you can tell from shorts and no socks we were having an unseasonably warm day... 70s.

Made for a very enjoyable evening!!!
