Christmas Parade, Santas, and Trees

Finally, I uploaded some pictures from a few weekends ago....

First, we went to the Greensboro Christmas Parade, but got there a little late so our seats were a little too far back to see too much, but the kids still seemed to have fun.

Thomas the Train was a big hit being that it was one of the few we could see-

We ran into Emily and her two kids randomly in the masses-  (Emily and Chloe)

 

 We finally got Trevor to hold onto sweet Claire's hand...  Claire is so excited to see Trevor and Trevor still hasn't realized what a catch Claire is or he's got the playing hard to get game down pat.  He's gonna regret it one of these days!

Daddy offered the best seat 

But, then the street seemed to offer a little more excitement than the Parade..  (Trevor running around with Max and Claire)

I love seeing them laugh together

Rest Break (for maybe 10 seconds)

I love this one of the two love birds taking a private break

The Fredricks  (Kelly, Claire, and Max)

Kelly's husband was out of town so we all traded off managing the kids.

 

And had to document that little Charlotte was present and behaved in her typical fashion, by sleeping through the entire event

Such a nice and HOT December Saturday, we ended up walking to Natty Greens for lunch afterwards, great day.

Santas- I knew Trevor was going to want nothing to do with Santa this year, but my thought or hope was that if I exposed him to enough "santas" maybe he would eventually feel more comfortable with "him" and sit for a picture.  So our first Santa experience was at a breakfast with Santa.  

We went with the Whites.  Colin did excellent with Santa I might add...

The only way we could get Trevor anywhere near was if we did an ENTIRE family shot

 And I couldn't figure out why Santa wouldn't stand up...

I thought Bravo did a really good job, they also had a magician (balloon animals), cookie decorating station, delicious menu, and desert.  I'd like to go back next year! 

Luckily the Breakfast itself was DELICIOUS and the company was nice too.  The posing with Santa was.. well what I expected.  You win some, you lose some;)

And as I mentioned we got our Tree...

 

Again, Charlotte thoroughly enjoyed the outing

TREVOR loved running through all the trees.  We only lost him a handful of times
