'Tis the Season

We kicked off the month of December in our very traditional and favorite way, at the Bluffton Christmas parade! This year was even better than the last few, because Nana, Pop Pop, GG and Goomba joined us! Eli plopped himself down in Nana's lap and never moved! He LOVES this parade, and looks forward to it all year long.

 We always go with the Thomas family as well, so we had quite the crowd! It was fun to see Piper and Layla at their first parade. Molly and I both had big baby bellies last year!

 

 

 I think everyone really enjoyed it!

 

The night before the parade we went to a local event in downtown Bluffton. Santa was there, and we were so glad! We typically have to make the trip to Savannah just to sit on Santa's lap, but not this year!

 Eli talked Santa's ear off! We got there early, so there was no line, and he really got a good visit in.

Layla was perfectly happy in her stroller taking in all the sights! There were bounces houses galore, and they were showing a Christmas movie on a big screen on the lawn.

 Right before leaving I felt like we should at least get one picture of Layla on Santa's lap. We all knew how it would go...but it still had to happen. :) I stayed out of sight and let Danny plop her down, but she still wasn't having it.

This is Eli's last week of school before Christmas break. Today his class had their Christmas party and they got to wear their pajamas to school. He thought that was the greatest thing ever!

Thursday he'll be in his very first Christmas program, and I cry just thinking about seeing my sweet boy up on stage!
