Thanksgiving 2012, Parade of Lights, and Polar Express Party!!

I'm giving thanks for my beautiful blessing tonight and that I am holding her now as she is sleeping in my arms.  I'm praying so hard for those families that aren't holding their babies tonight in CT.  Such a tragic world we live in filled with such hate.  We must cling to Jesus now more than ever.  I long for the day He brings us home.
 
With that said I have so many things to be thankful for!!  We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year with both sides of our family.  For lunch we spent time with my Dad's side of the family and we had such a great time and had VERY full bellies.
 This little girl always has fun with her Gigi!!
Love these people so much!!  Just missing my sweet brother, Andrew.  He will be home from Boston for Christmas very soon.  Briley and I are so excited to see him!!!
 
After lunch we headed to Bluebonnet to visit Nonnie and Hadley with Daniel's Dad and sister.  We always go with them on Holidays to do this and I love this tradition we have started.  This time is very special to all of us...
We had a yummy Thanksgiving dinner of chicken fried steak, salad, corn, and rolls.  Just what my Mother-in-law would have cooked for us!!  

The next night we headed out with Daniel's Dad and sister to our 2nd Parade of Lights to attend.  The traffic was SO bad that we didn't have the best view of the parade but once the parade was over being at the back has its advantages...we were in the front row for the lighting of the tree in downtown :)
 Enjoying some healthy Mickey D's while we wait for Parade :)
 Such a pretty tree!!

The following weekend we were invited to a Polar Express Christmas party to kick off December and all the kiddos Elves arriving :)

Isn't the decor so pretty??
 
 Christmas trees cones to decorate :)
 Letters to write to Santa and tickets for the Polar Express!!
Yummy food!!  Marshmallows, cheese and crackers, white donuts, snowman cupcakes, cookies...what more could a kiddo want??
 "Writing" her letter to Santa
 Decorating her Christmas Tree cone!!
 We ended the party with watching the Polar Express, eating popcorn, and have hot chocolate of course!!
Such a fun way to start off our Christmas festivities!!!

Is there any way you can remove people from that service?
