"All I want for Christmas is..." A baby brudder or baby sisTer one day! (as Audrey says). Surprise! We are expecting. We have been praying for several months for a baby with Audrey at her bedtime prayers. We found out that we are expecting another little one come August!
Lately our family has been doing a lot of fun Christmas outings. The weekend after Thanksgiving we went to Marshall with some friends. Then Thursday we enjoyed the Longview Christmas parade from Matthew's 5th floor office. Friday we enjoyed some time at the church decorating and festivating. Last night we went to the courthouse lawn and enjoyed some free entertainment along with a visit with Santa Claus! Audrey was not sure what to think about Santa Claus but she liked the idea of getting candy from him. He was such a good Santa Claus! He was very cautious not to upset her and ruin her childhood. He took time to talk with her and find out some about her. He asked her if she wanted a doll for Christmas and she said that she wanted, "Toys".
We took several photos to make sure and get a good one. I was real impressed with Santa Claus!
Lately Audrey has been asking us in the car, on the way home from an event, "What was your favorite part of the trip?" She will ask this if we are just going around the block or after a fun evening out. Usually she will say that her favorite part was whatever my favorite part was. For example, on the way home from the Longview Christmas 'Carade' (that is how Audrey says parade) I said that I enjoyed the hot air balloon fire and she did as well!
