dad and son at parade

Saturday night was the Christmas parade. Small boys wrapped up tight braved the flying candy for a glimpse of the jolly elf in the red suit.

My camera was acting up (quite possible I don’t know how to use it) but I didn’t get a few pictures of the boys, and several of my feet as I tried to work with it.

Santa and candycane

“Mom” he said to me shaking his head “I told Santa I wanted a dizzy (toy) but he thought I said CANDY CANE!” He yells the last and holds the candy cane two inches from my nose. “LOOK!”

When we got home from the parade all sugared up and high on Santa fumes it started to snow. The snow stuck around all day Sunday and the road is still frozen today.

Christmas is coming, it’s official.
