Tea Parties and Parades!

Yup...the title is "Tea Parties"...and I'm not talking about my daughter having one! Michael watches a show on tv and has become quite the little tea party host! He's so funny!
The first tea party! Of course, they are still boys and they have blocks and race cars at the tea party!

The lighting of the Christmas tree in Albemarle was a lot of fun. Here the boys are enjoying a snack...
The tree through the crowd...
Harrison got lot's of love from his big cousin's!
He enjoyed every moment of it!
Michael? Well, we can just say he didn't enjoy EVERY moment of the night!

Maria enjoyed talking to Mrs. Claus...
Wesley didn't want much to do with Santa!
Harrison was a little uncertain of the bearded guy, too!
Michael actually did pretty well with Santa, though!
So every year the Christmas parade lines up outside our house. The last few years (with babies) we have just watched from the warmth of the house. This year I decided the boys were going to experience the real parade (Sheniah was off with a friend for the weekend). So, usually there is some great, fascinating float outside our house and all morning I was thinking about how when it pulled up outside our house the boys would be so interested in it that I could get myself ready while they were distracted. Much to my dismay, this was what pulled up outside the house! Not really "entertaining" for the boys, as I had hoped!
But, we finally got ready and off we went!
The boys loved it!
Michael was so excited about all the firetrucks and ambulances!
Harrison was just overall fascinated!
We saw lot's of fun things...big wheel trucks with Christmas trees in the back...
To little bitty cars with santa hats on! These were my favorite!
This was the best of all...convertible, santa hat, pulling a boat my 11 month old would be too big to ride in! Too cute!
And then we had more tea parties! This time Spongebob and the monkey got to come along, too!
But then, the football wanted to come, so Spongebob had to leave! (My little ocd 2 year old...he even turned the football so it's face was toward the table!)

Then it was time for the most special tea party of all...the MAN tea party...daddy came and brought coffee and trucks! That's my boys!


Videos...
Harrison snoring in the highchair!

The boys getting a bath and the sweetest "I love you, Harrison"!

And last but not least, Harrison has figured out the climbing and sliding down the slide. It is just too bad it is winter because they both LOVE to be outside playing on the swingset!

Of course, I have more pictures and videos from the last few days but those will have to wait. I am finally off to bed after a long (as usual!) day/weekend/month!

Happy Thanksgiving to all!
