Bring on the Christmas Season

We kicked off the Christmas season by going to the Wheaton Christmas parade. Good old fashioned Christmas caroling started off the evening.


Downtown Wheaton looks beautiful with all the trees in lights.


We experienced some cold weather at the parade. It was a nice lesson in what to and what not to wear. For instance, we learned that Grayson's coat was not quite warm enough, and jeans alone will not keep your legs warm! The hot chocolate and coffee warmed us, though.


The final float had the jolly man himself!


There were even special Disney visitors! Halle enjoyed meeting Snow White.



Another lesson learned.....Halle's mary jane's are not enough to keep her feet warm. Her little toes were frozen! Dad to the rescue. We are all much wiser as we step out into the cold!

BRING ON THE FUN!

1. I hate Christmas caroling. NOT because of the music - I love Christmas music actually. It's the uncomfortable feeling I get watching a group of festive people singing TO ME. oy ugh bleck gaa yuck. One minute I'm sitting comfortably on my couch. The next I'm standing at the front door with fake smile calculating how long I have to stand there before I can escape. It's a violation!

2. Downtown Wheaton looks very storybook. Are there ANY ugly or at least regular looking parts of Wheaton or does it all look like this? You guys must have a Wal-Mart somewhere ruining the quaint atmosphere, right?

3. Please don't let Johnny put Halle in the fire. She's not that big and won't generate much heat. It's not worth it.
