Mayor's Christmas Parade

 Last year's parade was cancelled when it snowed, but this year's parade proved to be quite the show!  After about three hours of fun, we left, but the parade was still going strong!

Santa- December 5, 2010

We had our annual Christmas with the Crew gathering at Kathe's house.  There, I discovered the joy of pot stickers.  Yum.  Santa surprised us all with a visit!  We had a great time visiting with family and friends, eating way too much yummy food.  The only thing that was missing was Uncle Jeff! 

Emily was first to sit on Santa's lap.

Lincoln & Santa

Sarah crocheted her scarf.

Andrea asks Santa for all sorts of exciting things, like cars.



Lincoln & Daniel enjoy Hess trucks, cars and striped shirts!



Santa, Maybe- December 13, 2009

Daniel was a little leery of Santa. We thought if Sarah (also not Santa's biggest fan) and Emily (Santa's #1 fan) went to him he might be okay, but in the end, he said no, thank you, Santa.
