Santa Pic 09

So Parker just turned 16months and has a hard time with strangers. So we decided to put him on Santa's lap any how, thought it would be a good picture.

He didn't disappoint. Poor little guy!

At least it was a great memory for us.

Happy Happy

That's what Parker says instead of Happy Thanksgiving. We had the best day, Grandma was here and Adams dad and brother came as well. Our friends from church, Richard and Carmen and baby Connor came too.

Friday we went to a tree farm and cut down our own treeThe house is all decorated for Christmas
we are ready for holiday cheer!

Parker's dance

So Parker has been entertaining us lately with this little dance he does. I have been trying to get a good video, I have a couple to show.

Happy Halloween
