This weekend we went to see Santa!!! Savannah had no problem with Santa (even though I thought he was a bit creepy...you can't tell if he's smiling underneath that fake beard!) and she asked for a choo-choo train (we got several Thomas the Train books at the library this week so trains are fresh on her mind). She forgot all about trains once Santa handed her a Candy Cane.

Later that night we went to the annual downtown parade which is apparently a big deal around here. Really it's just a bunch of advertising for the community, some boy scout troops, and the high school marching bands. I guess it was a little fun hanging out in the 45deg heat cuddled up with all our friends. At the end of the parade was Santa Claus (with his posse of rented security guards) and the lighting of the giant Christmas tree.

Once we got home and thawed Matt and Savannah hung our new Bethlehem star on top of the Christmas tree. Our old star was broken, along with some other Christmas decorations. It never occurred to me to re-pack the Christmas supplies for moving across town. Apparently ours didn't survive moving to the Ranch, sitting in the August heat for 3 weeks, and then moving again. Oops.
