Christmas Parade

on thursday night, there was a christmas parade downtown. it was really fun. we made hot chocolate, found a corner on the street, and watched all the cool floats with lights, trees, and decorations. i have never had to bundle my kids up so much ( you know, coming from arizona) and it was fun to buy them big coats. but we definately  needed the warm stuff.

here is mikenna and treston, with the lighted swords we bought them, waiting for the parade, drinking hot chocolate

here's andon and sawyer sitting nicely in there strollers with there swords

me and my baby boy. he is so cute

here we are watching the parade

grandpa and the grandkids

here is our texas clan (everyone who is here) at the parade

and of course my wonderful hubby and kids... our family

so if you were wondering or even care, no i didn't take any pictures of the actual parade because i find that when i take pictures with no people in them, i don't ever use them for anything so it is kinda a waste. 

fyi: also to clear up my whole house situation, a lot of people had questions about it from my previous post of the decorating, it is a bit confusing thing and may not make sense to any one but it is what we are doing until things are a little further on with the business. we are moving out of our apartment that we are in right now and moving in with janell for a few months. my dad is moving out of janells to get his own place for when my mom gets here for christmas. and this is all happening this month. probably in march, we will move into our own house. we want to build a home here so we may not be completely settled and in a permanant place for a year or so. i hope that clears up any confusion anyone had.
