Well, the new carpet we had installed a few months ago was finally replaced with our new new carpet (I wasn't willing to purchase carpet that had unremovable stains when installed... imagine that!) and finally, we could put up the tree. So after battling the lights on Friday night, the kids decorated it Saturday morning. They did a splendid job! It is quite a collection of old and new, handmade, purchased, and gift ornaments. Since the picture we have the train up and running around the bottom so the battle for that remote has begun!We then headed up to the town Christmas festival. Gotta love a small county parade... lots of local fire departments, church groups, scout groups, the local high school band, people just walking down the street and you are not sure why, and this year, in addition to the port-a-potties on wheels that can spin and do wheelies, that same company had a bicycle rider whose seat was a toilet!
Funny of the day: We hiked the mile or so to the parade... Caleb rode his bike, I pushed the younger two in the double stroller, and Price walked and rode the scooter. All of a sudden I notice he has fallen (I think) onto some one's lawn and I asked him what happened and with his cute, 5 year old missing-two-teeth grin said "I tripped over the invisible doggie fence."
Not-so-funny of the day: Thanks to Evan, we now all know that M&M's also melt in your nose! At least the blue ones do. Not sure we wanted to know this though...

Funny you should mention the random walking parade participants...we were curious about that as well...don't see that in the big cities!
So glad the carpet is in. I know that is a huge relief to you. Let the festivities officially begin
Price's comment is "priceless". And we have had issues with things up noses as well. Carter has put a rock and an expandable ear plug up hers.
So sorry we missed the parade! Your tree looks beautiful, and Brynn was right, it is bigger than mine...
