We went to the Light Up Louisville Christmas parade on Friday. It was a fun time - the kids had not been to a parade since Fort Smith when Emily was 2 1/2 and Michael was 6 months old. Seems kind of sad that they had not been to a real parade all that time. They enjoyed it - although there were no marching bands and not many real floats. Lots of people marching together and cars. After the parade we went to the car to eat turkey sandwiches and then went back for Light Up Louisville. It was pretty, but not very long. Santa came in at 7:00 and that sure did cause a stir. Who would have thought it would take 20 - 30 police officers to ward the crowd off of Santa. After that we came back home to play Disney Scene-It. The kids got that from Craig and Amber for Christmas.
Saturday morning we all slept in a little and then enjoyed everyone's company. We had another turkey dinner before taking Karen to the airport. Craig and Amber & Amelia stayed around for another round of Disney Scene It as well as playing a baseball game that Michael has. They left around 4:00 and then Doug and myself hit the Christmas lights. We have a pair of white trees, a holographic gift in front of them, a holographic train, blue lights on the bushes, and white lights on the house. It is very bright outside with all the lights on.
Today we spent the day relaxing and lounging. We did go fly a model airplane which Doug's boss gave the kids. After that we went to dinner at CiCi's Pizza (of course we have plenty food in the house but just needed a break from cooking). I won't have to cook all this week as we have plenty of left-overs. That will be nice but I am sure we will get tired of it. I plan on freezing some for meals later. We have plenty of turkey left as we got a 22 lb. turkey.
Tomorrow it is back to the regular routines. I hope my students are less active - last week they were very active and talkative. I know it will only get worse before it gets better, but I hope for 1 good week before the Christmas actitivities start.
