Buster Bear, Parade, Santa and Choir Program.

Busy, Busy, Busy...but I love it and this time of year. Mason started the weekend off bringing home his class mascot, Buster Bear. He had to take care of him over the weekend and take him everywhere he went. It was the perfect weekend to have him and we kept him very entertained.
Here is Buster Bear and Mason watching the parade on Saturday. The Boys before the parade began...this is in between tag-your-it and rolling down the hill.

Almost time to start...

Braxton loved catching the candy and toys and Mason hardly noticed the candy being thrown right at him...he loved looking at the floats, lights and people.

After the parade we wanted to continue with the holiday spirit and head to Bass Pro to see Santa! First year Mason has sat in his lap, he usually watches from a distance but he jumped right up there and was ready to tell him what he wanted. He wants a race track! Braxton on the other hand had his list ready in his mind and he was rehearsing the whole time we were waiting in line. He said that he wants a laptop, binnoculars, an ipod, a new wii game and so on. I believe he could go on all day...and to think a month ago he couldn't think of one thing that he wanted!

Sunday night the boys had their Christmas choir program. It was so sweet and hearing those children sing just warms the heart! They did a super job! Mason mainly looked around trying to find a familiar face in the that enormous church and I knew it as soon as he spotted his brother...and captured the moment! Huge grin on his face, and it almost looked as though he relaxed a little and enjoyed himself. He loves his brother so much!

One of Braxton's songs was Silent Night and they did sign language the whole time...very impressive! I even teared up a little watching them especially when the music stopped and they did the signing without music or singing. So glad that they were part of such a sweet service!

What a way to end an already fantastic weekend! We are looking forward to several more programs in the next few weeks. Have I mentioned how much I love this time of year?? :)
