*** Christmas Parades ***

So we went to 2 different Christmas parades within 3 days :] We went to the Christmas parade in LaGrange, GA last Thursday evening and then we went to the Christmas parade here in Newnan yesterday :] It was so much fun to watch the way Eli reacted to everything!!! He absolutely loved watching the parade and really liked seeing all the different Christmas trees, tractors, puppy dogs, fire trucks, and horses. Everytime he saw a Christmas Tree he was sure to come up to me and let me know- it was so darn cute :] He's such a sweet lil man! He even got candy at the parade yesterday. Just picture this Mama running around the side of the road trying to get as much candy as I could for him when they threw it hahaha!!!! No worries- I didn't steal it all from the other kids around me too- that would be harsh hahaha! Eli waved to Santa at the end of the parade too- it was so cute! He is way cute about Santa lately. I've been talking to him about different things dealing with Santa and he remembers them so well. He tells me how Santa brings presents for him and brother, and how Santa flies in the sky by the moon :] It's so darn cute! And anytime he sees a Santa he yells "SAAAAANTA" real loud :] It makes me smile big time! He is very excited for Santa to bring presents to our house for him and Zacary! We are going to be in IL for Christmas so before we leave on the 23rd we decided to have our Christmas for the 4 of us either on Saturday the 18th or Sunday the 19th (if Noah doesn't have to work Saturday then we will do it that day but if he does have to work then we will the 19th) I am so stinkin excited- Christmas with kids is so much fun :]

Eli was so funny at the parade too. We took the double stroller for the boys and some random lil girl happened to be near it and she touched the stroller and Eli did not like it at all so he came up to me and tried telling on her by touching the stroller where she did and saying NO NO! Hahahahaha.... I couldn't help but laugh! The lil girl of course did no harm to our stroller but Eli was so protective of it ha!!!

Mr Zacary slept thru the whole parade yesterday, but on Thurs evening he was awake for some of the parade and slept the rest ha! Tough life bein a baby huh? :] He loved to see the Christmas lights on everything though- it was precious to see him lookin all around at the lights all wide-eyed! He is becoming more and more alert everyday and is allll smiles anymore too :] I love talking to his sweet lil face and seeing his beautiful smile right back at me :] He's a cute lil guy just like big brother and so darn sweet!!! He's getting so big so fast though! He is now also napping in his crib at nap time...woo hoo lil guy! He isn't at night time yet but sometime soon! We are getting him comfy to his crib in his room for nap first and then will switch to night time too. He is such a cuddle bug and I love that so so so much but he loves to be held while sleeping and I know he's still young and all but we are trying to get better about that before he is too old and understands "ok Mommy will hold me tonight while I sleep and she will elevate herself up and rock me to sleep too." I do not whatsoever mind getting him to sleep by holding him and rocking him at all but Noah and I decided it's best for us and him for him to sleep in his own space in his crib. OH the joys of having your children grow up- way.too.fast. :[ I am taking advantage of this cuddle bug stage as much as I can- it won't be here forever. Although Eli is more in a cuddle bug stage now then he ever has been... ahhhh love being a Mommy to my amazing lil boys <3
