James had his school Christmas music performance at the beginning of December. Anthony had to work, so I was on my own with these two. I knew that it was going to be standing room only in the cafeteria where they have the performances, so I got there an hour early. Thank goodness for kindle fires!!
Both of the boys wanted to wear Santa hats and light up necklaces. So adorable!
James found a friend from his class: Kylie K. (since there are two Kylies in his class they add the initial). They are assigned to sit next to each other at lunch and in class and have becoming the most adorable friends! Her mom works in the cafeteria and said that she is so glad that they have started playing together because for the longest time at lunch she would just sit and eat quietly with no one to talk to.
While I was saving our seats, James wanted to go with Kylie and her family to drop off her older sister at the middle school. Her mom took this picture of them holding hands. I am dying at how adorable they are!!
James showed me where his seat was on the stage so I got to be right in front of him this year. He also happened to be behind the piano, but what can you do? :)
We went to our annual Christmas parades this year, first was for New Smyrna Beach:
Rett is still terrified of the loud noises. If he even thinks it will make a noise, he covers his ears.
The theme this year was riverfront Christmas, so there were a lot of fishing/beach life floats.
James and Rett found a group of kids sitting close to the floats and joined in:
Moana!
A local restaurant called The Garlic always throws out whole cloves of garlic to the crowd. The adults get pretty competitive about catching them. James really wanted one too, he was jumping up and down and waving his hands. No luck though.
This adorable little boy was in a remote control power wheels being steered by his mom. It was the coolest thing ever!
Snow! (Soap bubbles)
The parade always ends with Santa and his sleigh:
The following week was the Edgewater parade. We almost considered not going because it was drizzling and sooooo cold (40's maybe?) but it is so hard to skip when we've gone every year. It is a tradition! We brought blankets to wrap up in, a few umbrellas and made the most of it. The boys thought it was extra fun. Anthony thought he was dying.
We had to take a picture of the flamingos instead of reindeer for my mom. She would have loved it!
