Holiday Season






Wow, it's really flying by. Fall is just in fast forward. Thanksgiving came and went and it has just gotten busier. We had a lot of fun at some recent community events. We attended a Veterans Day parade and had a really good time seeing all the military planes/tanks/trucks and of course the bands that played. GO NAVY! (hehe) Our resident veteran unfortunately had to work at the event since the BIG boss was speaking. It was quite chilly as well so we had to huddle up. What was so great is that while we were waiting for the parade to get to us (we were at the tail end of the route) the children bypassed language barriers and had a lot of fun with some children next to us. It was great! The children could not speak the same language but had a great time playing with the ball we brought and enjoying each other's company. It's in moments like those that I am so proud and wow, what a lesson, right?


We also had a great time welcoming Santa to town at our town center. There was music and fun and SNOW! Ok, man made perhaps, but that didn't make any difference to the kids. Santa came in on a fire engine and even shook Tristan's hand. He was just thrilled. In the picture Santa's head is cut off a bit but check out Bugga's face! He is just beside himself. Awww...
Christmas is coming..................
