More Christmas fun

We have been busy this past week with lots of Christmas activities. First was Charles' Christmas program at preschool. He did great. He sang, and did the motions and hung in there in, even when the girls behind him starting losing it.

Here he is at the beginning:

And doing the Jesus Loves me song..."they are weak but he is STRONG"

Still smiling, til the end!


Next we all went to see Santa. Yes, Santa!! Thomas told everyone that the shorter the list the better because Santa wouldn't think you were being greedy. Then he proceeded to ask for twice as many things as the other two! The cutest part about it all was that Thomas took a shower and put on his Christmas sweatshirt that he made last year in Kindergarten before going to see Santa. That was all his idea.

Some of the things they want: a new bike (Josh) DS games, WII games, a ripstick, geotracks...whew!


And yesterday was the annual Flower Mound Christmas parade. It is a really fun parade, and we go see it every year if we can. This year the cub scouts got to participate if they wanted to. Thomas was very excited to be in the float. Joshua chose to watch from the sidelines since he was already in the Homecoming parade earlier this year for student council. (He really just didn't want to miss out on all the candy.)

Thomas took this very seriously. He sat and waved the ENTIRE time, and yelled Merry Christmas. By the end, most of the others were just goofing off. Not Thomas. He was so cute. When it was over he asked me "how did I do?" This was a big deal to him. He will be a great employee some day.

Here he is before we took off. The float had a fake fire and the boys pretended to roast marshmallows.

And here is the whole gang that participated. Thomas is front and center.
