The Santa Claus Parade

The official kick off to the Christmas holiday season in our house is the Santa Claus Parade. This year the parade was amazing; Lola loved all the clowns, the floats, and the marching bands.
It had to be the best year yet and of course we went and the fact that we watched the parade with Beej and Dylan only made Lola love it more.Break out the egg nog and the holy; it is official people Christmas is upon us!

Goofing Around

We have been busy; fall arrived and at our house that brings a whole bunch of raking. You would be surprised by the number of leaves that can fall on our tiny front yard.
Because summer is over we can finally turn on the oven and we have been enjoying lots of home cooking and baking. Lola continues to enjoy helping in the kitchen. We are looking forward to the day when we just sign over all the cooking and baking responsibility to her.We have also been doing a lot of crafts, a sort of warm up to the Christmas craft season. We have some pretty amazing crafts planned to keep us busy for the next month.

We are also slowly getting ready to welcome the new baby into our family. Because of this there has been lots of one on one Lola time filled with hugs, kisses and lots of silliness.
I'll try to keep you posted more regularly, but no promises.

Fun with hats

Lola has had a long standing affinity to the cowboy hat. It began way before she was born when Oma bought her first cowboy hat.

Nowadays, her favourite hat is the one that looks like Jessie's
And there aren't nearly as many tears.
But, there are a lot of "Yee Haws".
