2 Nights of Lights!!

There are lots of things Ryan loves...Me, The kids, His job and the light parade!! (hopefully in that order) Every year around the 1st of October I start hearing things like- "ShopKo Has there Christmas lights on sale" "What should I do for the light Parade" etc. It sometimes makes for a long November! This year was no exception.

The whole week before Thanksgiving my car was banished from the garage as the construction was going on. I learned three very important things:

1. I am thankful for my garage.
2. I hate to scrap windows.
3. That Spanish Fork Wind Is Damn Cold!!

But After lots hours of work the float took shape and it looked REALLY GOOD!!


The kids love the light parade and couldn't wait to cheer on Daddy -Even if he stiffed them on the candy- so we had to find something to pass the time-
Grandpa's Diet coke always does the trick! (Its amazing what happens when your dad become grandpa- He would NEVER drink out of the same bottle as me, and second he never even let me drink in the Car.) They had a blast clapping for all the neat floats!
Karden also wanted to see Santa- Whitley well she has decided she doesn't like Santa, but she does like Santa's Brother! I give up on that child :) Once again Santa didn't dissapoint!

This morning while discussing taking apart the float and getting out the Christmas tree, My mom called to tell Ry about the light parade in Santaquin. Well within 5 minutes our day went from decorating the house to Light parade mode again. (Thanks MOM!)

We made the trek over to Santaquin and after assembling the float made a drive by to Little Grandmas Resthome! The residents all came outside and oohed and aahed over the float! It was my favorite part of the weekend! The Santaquin light parade went well and Ry walked away with the "Mayors Choice" award. Which came with this sweet basket from the Red barn. The prize is not why Ry does the light parade but is a nice surprise!


I love that Ryan loves Christmas time so much- Tomorrow maybe we will tackle the Christmas tree!!
