The Christmas Parade

A small town near us hosted a great Christmas parade. The kids loved it. The best part, of course, was that most of the participants throw candy at the kids that are along the parade route.

Waiting for it to start

Oh my gosh, there is the big guy!

Look, both kids on Santa's lap.

My first Christmas

You can't see me!

A rock concert for 5 year olds!

We are so lucky to live so close to a great city that has so many entertainmet venues. Tonight we went to see The Imagination Movers at the Byham Theater. This was Brynn's first experience at a "concert" and she had a ball.

It was a hour and half of rock music for 5 year olds. We jumped up, jumped down, turned around and sung at the tops of our lungs.

What? You don't tie bows with your toes?

Happy 40th Sesame Street

Happy Anniversary to the entire Sesame Street gang. Thank you for providing amazing television to my generation and my children's.




"F" is for foreign lands. Brynn still loves watching "Big Bird In China". And the little girl will always be called Shampoo in our house.

Why I love living in the country...

This is the view we woke up to today.

We are so blessed.
