Christmas on its way!

woohoo!

yes, christmas is coming.

we are so looking forward to it this year

with both of our kids.

jesse will be a lot more interactive and elleanne is at least sitting

and somewhat participatory...

anyhoo...

i have some footage of jesse at our

downtown christmas tree lighting and parade.

i love that towns all over america 

come together to get ready 

for the greatest and biggest 

birthday party ever-Jesus'!

so jesse clapped almost every time a new group or float passed by us-

he was enthralled---this age is getting to be so much fun!

{...just dont think about all the work!}

...sorry its phone video...and we did not get a good clip of it!

so onto other "bring in the seasons:"
           decorating the tree with daddy!

 pictures from the parade!

 Our only friends our age in AG...the merrills
it was so nice to see them at the parade!

" Santa Baby!"

and jesse showing elleanne what should not be done with the ornaments....right?
