OH, CHRISTMAS TREE!

Excited Miah with her cute little tree.

Our Christmas tree.! We took the kids out to cut down a tree. A traditions we have had the past few years. However I was extremely cold when we got out there. We sat in the burb with the kids drinking hot chocolate, while our freezing men quickly picked a tree. Its a little charlie brownish, but none the less serves the same purpose and we had just as much fun decorating as we would have if it were a little fuller. Now my house feels Christmasy. I love Christmas trees.!

Santa Claus Parade 2009

In Fort Macleod the Parades have always begin and ended with this man, our town cryer " Here it come folks, the parades a comin, here ye here ye". "there it goes, thats all there is, there aint no more". I must admit, old Mr heart is and always has been my favorite part of the parade. Parades will never be the same when hes gone. some of our frozen little people.

its just my opinion of course, but this has to be one of the most beautiful animals on earth. gotta love the socks.

the Gads of 2009 What is a parade without a marching band

Jarom was so excited that he got to be in the parade this year, on the cub float. It was so cold, they all froze. He has decided that its not so much fun being in the parade.
