Santa Parade






Every year since Scott has been on the Tooele City Council we have been able to participate in the local Parades. Today was the annual Santa Clause parade. Its fun to see the cool new cars and trucks they have for us to drive. Today was a new big truck(guess we wouldn't look so spiffy on parade in our 2002 mini van). The kids enjoy Trowing hand fulls of candy out the window to the people along the route. Jack was strapped in the middle in his car seat, but was trowing candy just like the rest of us. Most of it didn't make it out the window,and several hand fulls hit Emma directly in the head, but it was another fun parade. Scott and I were talking today, and we hope that these are some special memories for the kids. That as they reminisce when they are grown, that they will remember some of these fun times as a family. After the parade we went to our local Macy's store and decorated Christmas sugar cookies, and the kids had their faces painted. We love our little town of Tooele!

Ditto on loving Tooele!

Not that this is about me, but one weekend I was crying (very rationally, btw) about life and I said something about not "making memories" to Ryan. Later, after I had stopped crying and regained some composure, we had a great laugh about that. I guess you don't need to do anything super-lavish to have it count as "making memories" and that is a great relief. Now, of course, he teases me about the "making memories meltdown." Marriage is AWESOME!

Looks like you guys made some great memories!
