You light up my life

We went to the Tempe Light Parade again this year. There are a lot of different holiday things in our area, but they mostly occur on the same weekend, so we picked the parade this year. There are not any pictures of the floats (since they don't come out very good), but we have one shot of these clowns getting ready for the fun.

I am thankful for Christmas!

We had a lonely Thanksgiving this year. No visitors and no friends invited over. This was by design as we wanted to take things a little bit easier with Rach being 8 months pregnant. So we had a fun small family dinner (complete with Turkey from one of our neighbors that brought over a few slices when they found out we were not making one this year) of delicious sides. The kids ate the rolls and drank the soda (I call that good enough for today). While dinner was getting ready we decided to put up the Christmas tree (since there may not be another good time to do it).

The kids loved putting all the ornaments not he tree (at least the front side of it). Miles really enjoyed all the ornaments that sing, laugh, and look like trucks.

The girls got a few quick shots in front of the masterpiece. They did a great job with the decorations.

Under the Sea

Hadley rocked another preschool program - This time it was all ocean themed!

Here is my awesome fish-faced Hadley.  

 She was quite particular on how her hair looked and  what to wear.  I love that about her.

 She sang her songs so well and knew all of her facts.  Captain Hadley, good job!
