Holidazzle

Saturday night we got bundled up and headed to the Holidazzle Parade downtown. Elijah and Evan did fairly well waiting 40 minutes for the parade to begin. Luckily it wasn't too cold outside.

Elijah was really excited once the parade began. He liked all the lights and the storybook characters.

Evan enjoyed the show for a little while, then he got a little crabby.

I tried doing a "selfy" with Elijah. This is what we got!

The best part of the show was when we saw Santa and all his reindeer at the end. Elijah was very excited for this!

Feasts, Treats and Pumpkins

Today at preschool Elijah had a Thanksgiving feast to celebrate the upcoming holiday. Parents were invited to attend the feast, so I joined in on the fun!
All of the classes made different hats and masks to wear to the feast. Elijah had a turkey mask, his lost an eye.

Here we are ready to eat!

The feast begins!

They had turkey sandwiches, mashed potatoes, stuffing, fruit, pumpkin pudding and trail mix.

Elijah seemed to enjoy the feast and he was so excited that I was there with him.

In other holiday news, I never did post about our Halloween. Here are some very belated pictures!
Evan was the cutest Tiger ever! He looked cute crawling around with his little tail moving.

Elijah was "Super E", a character we made up based on one of his favorite shows, Super Why.

Here is his super cape.

Daddy with his boys

Off to trick-or-treat!
Elijah fell asleep before we even started!

Jon and the boys went and picked out three pumpkins this year

The boys were all ready to carve them.

Elijah helped separate the seeds.

It wasn't long before Jon was left doing all the work on all three pumpkins. The boys had more fun playing with toys (do you see them in the background?).


Here we are with the finished jack-o-lanterns.

Elijah wanted a "scary" pumpkin and Jon carved the middle one. Elijah was very disappointed because it wasn't very scary. Jon carved the one on the left next and it got Elijah's approval!
