Nov. 27 - Electric Christmas Parade

The Hunt Family started a tradition of having a Christmas party before the parade and it is such a festive, beautiful party. Their home is just gorgeous and decorated so beautifully, there is food, hot cocoa (spiked too!), piano playing, s'mores making and lots of bundling up to go out for the parade! We love this new tradition we have added and we hope we are able to do it for years to come!

 Natalie requested I buy some lemon poppy seed muffins and we made them and they were so good!

 Paper snowflakes

 

 This is our "we were going to the big city (Chicago) but now we aren't b/c Natalie just threw up! We had a day planned to go in and see Daly Plaza tree lighting and the windows on State Street....and it's not gonna happen!!! Boo! Poor Natalie...she threw up just before we were supposed to leave and then was fine the rest of the day...but we didn't want to chance it. I guess there's always next year!

 Amanda put some of their play makeup on and she just thought she looked fabulous! ha!

 Grandma reads the kids some Christmas books!
