There was no shortage of Christmas spirit this past weekend. It was busy and full of Christmas cheer...and some tired kids...and parents. Thankful for the "good tired" that comes from making memories!
We started off our weekend having breakfast with Santa at Tinley's preschool. Parker sang Jingle Bells to Santa and Tinley was fascinated, but kept a little distance.
I have seen Santas that look more "real" than this one...but this Santa told both the kids how special they were, to take care of one another and that Jesus loved them. Best Santa visit yet:)
Tinley's buddy:)
Painting and showing off her tattoo that she's yet to let me wipe off.
It pays to have a Dad with some artistic skills.
One of Tinley's "babies" from Ms. Joys....almost as big as she is!
My sweet boy.
After the breakfast we had to drop off Parker for his Christmas parade debut....we had lots of time to wait and entertain ourselves with various activities!
Loved these pretty horses who were at the start of the parade...aren't horses supposed to be at the end?
Finally Parker came by and because they don't stop the parade for us to get a picture, we got just a glimpse. Lots of waving and yelling for our little scout!
On Sunday, Parker had a performance at our church where the story was about how the wrong costumes were delivered for the Christmas play. Instead of shepherds, angels, and wisemen...they told the story of Jesus with costumes for cheerleaders, football players, pirates, and cowboys. The point is...the Good News is the same no matter what!
Love learning from these sweet kids!

And finally Dr. Tinley has arrived. After attending a very exciting birthday party with a Doc McStuffins theme, she has set up clinic in our house for all the toys. Lots of surgeries and boo boos and shots. Maybe if she's a doctor, it want make me so nervous to go.
Thankful for getting in the true spirit of Christmas!
