We have been doing lots of preparing for Christmas. Besides our Advent wreath and countdown, we have been busy with the parade...

Waiting for the parade to start

Still waiting...but we're not cold!

Visiting Santa

"I was a little unsure at first."

Jude's turn

"I wasn't scared at all! This jolly old man gave me a whole stocking filled with candy!"

We can't wait for Christmas

This year Mom and Dad let us help put up the Christmas tree, instead of waiting until we were in bed to do it.

We had fun helping decorate and we think it looks pretty good!
