Ho Ho Ho

Look at the excitement in those little eyes. Could she be any more worked up about her very first Santa Claus parade? Probably. Despite the ho-hum face she did seem to enjoy it. Except for the horns on the fire trucks (aka every other float) which she hated. The parade was huge. Nice and long and the kiddies all around us loved it. But a little light on the marching bands. A parade can never have too many marching bands.

We're hoping to get a tree next weekend. Our very first tree! Although I've been picking up tree decor here and there this year will likely call for some creative ornament arranging and maybe even a little popcorn garland. But that's okay. That's half the fun - collecting ornaments each holiday season until one year the boughs are so heavy (and our memories so many) that we're propping them up with kitchen utensils. 

Sunny and Frances! After so much anticipation Frank's sweet little cousin Sunny (and her lovely mama Sammi) have arrived. We're all very excited and Sunny is pure perfection. Beautiful blue eyes, sweet little lips that curl into a big baby smile and so much charm. Buds for sure!

Oh hi. Nice to meet you.
