Dahlonega Christmas Parade

The annual Christmas Parade was this evening in town. We met Erica & Kyler (and what seemed like the whole county) to enjoy the holiday festivities. The square looked beautiful all decked out in red and green for the season! Despite the very cold weather we all had a great time.
The kids all loved the candy that was tossed out and we ran into more than a few our friends, which is always nice!

~~SNOW~~

Even though we had a few snow flurries in November today we had some that actually stuck! School was even closed an hour early(even though that was needless)

We sure did have a pretty view out the living room window today however!


The kids went to bed excited tonight in hopes of a Snow Day tomorrow
but that remains to be seen.

2008 Boling Christmas Tree Decorating

We went down for dinner and tree decorating at the Boling's on Sunday night.

There were some funny moments from Abram as usual -- he seemed to "accidentally" drop ornaments and then would stare at them in shock :):)
(Sorry Charity - but it is cute even if he is pantless!)



I had to get the requisite "ornament placing" photo of all the kids in :)
