Fun December Weekend

December is always such a busy month but so much fun.  We started off the weekend with our Sunday School class Christmas party on Friday night.  We had a delicious dinner catered by On the Border.  It was so nice to drop the kids off at the church nursery and not have to worry about getting a babysitter or paying for one.  We had a great time visiting with friends.
We got up Saturday morning and went downtown to watch the Christmas parade.  It was the largest I have ever seen it.  There were over 100 floats.  The kids loved it.  Garrett 's favorite part was seeing Santa on the fire engine and Gaitley talked nonstop about the cheerleaders.  Saturday night we bundled up in our Christmas pajamas and went to look at Christmas lights.  It is so exciting to watch the kids light up when they see all the decorations.
Our weekend ended on a good note with the Hanging of the Green at church.  All the kids' choirs sang Christmas songs.  Garrett has been practicing for this for months and he was so cute to watch.  I don't know if he knew any of the words but he stood up there with his hands in his pockets and smiled and waved the entire time.  Both my sisters were able to come and that really made it special.
We can't wait for the rest of the fun activities we have planned for this month.
