Christmas parade

Last weekend we took Anslie to her first McDonough Christmas parade.  She wore her cute little Christmas onesie with her name on it.

I ordered this red and white hairbow for the Christmas season- it was described as an "infant bow", but it's waaaay too big for her tiny head!  Walton and the boys about had a fit about how crazy it looked, and of course she did not leave the house with it on.  She looks a little frightened by it - or else her neck muscles are tired from holding it up!

It was freezing on the night of the parade.  We were glad that our niece Anita's boyfriend's parents, the Lewis's, invited us to hang out with them in the community room at the bank while we waited for the parade to start.  We enjoyed some yummy treats and time with friends.  As you can see, Anslie was not as excited about the parade as she will be a couple of years from now. Walton kept her inside where it was warm most of the night - they just came out for a few minutes to see Kyle march by with the OHS band.  (Which worked out fine for him as well since he left his winter coat at home.)

Here are Kevin and Anslie wishing that Anita was in McDonough watching the parade instead of far away in sunny Florida.

Will and his buddies were bundled up and having a great time.

My nighttime photography skills are not so good - but here are the Marching Mustangs:

It was hard to get a good view of Kyle playing Christmas carols in the dark.  He was completely frozen when they finished.

Finally, here are a few recent favorite pictures of Anslie.  We are happy to report that she has been sleeping through the night most of the time lately. She is very smiley and chatty these days - so sweet!
