The girls also have small trees in their rooms they get to decorate.
Another tradition is to go to the Arlington Christmas parade. Ava was in the Faith Arlington float so we dropped her off at the church while we found our spot along the parade route.
Dalton was with Michael for part of the parade so Elia and Cami entertained each other while we waited for the parade to start.
We enjoyed watching all the floats go by! We are proud to live in such a great community!!!
Ava's float was the second to last float to come by so she was pretty much over the whole thing by the time she passed us. LOL! Have you ever seen such a bored angel?
Of course, you can't have a parade without the big man himself!!!
After the parade we all went to Rizzi's pizza which was packed. The kids had fun though playing with our phones.
As we were leaving Rizzi's, there was a band setting up complete with electric guitars and drums. Ava was completely taken by the guitarist until the drummer walked in. She made the comment that the drummer was "not hot hot, but hot." This is the same guy that nearly scared Kevin to death as he walked past him in the door. Lord, help us now. We have a long road ahead of us with Ava. LOL!
Another tradition we have is to see Santa and pick out Hallmark ornaments. We decided to see Santa at Bass Pro this year which was wonderful. There was no line, we got a free picture, and the girls got to play some free games.
After Santa we went to Hallmark and picked out our ornaments. I got ET which was my favorite movie when I was little. It's hard to believe it is the 30th anniversary of ET. (I couldn't be that old!)
Kevin picked out a milk and cookie ornament which sings "Let's Get it On." Pretty funny! Elia made the comment that the ornament is "very disturbing". HA!
Elia picked out the hippo ornament because it sings "I want a hippopotamus for Christmas".
Ava picked out a cute Hallmark character ornament which says funny things about wanting Santa to come now. It is so fun to pull out our ornaments from year to year and remember certain memories related to each one.
After we picked out our ornaments and ate dinner, we went to Nana and Pepaw's house. We climbed in their attic and found all kinds of Christmas treasures. Ava loved the santa and snowman that she put in her room. I can't wait to decorate with her Santa collection and her Christmas village.
Merry Christmas!
