The Best Day Ever!!

The theme song of today was "The Best Day Ever". It's from some Sponge Bob episode. My kids sing it and hold out each word so it sounds more like, "It's the Beeeeeeest Daaaaaaaay Eeeeeeever!" They break out into harmony and everything. Today, they sang it all day long.

My kids wake up bright and early, even on Saturday mornings. We were one of the first to arrive at our neighborhood Donuts with Santa event.

No tears, just smiles. Success!

Everyone loved their donuts, especially Austin.

The kids had fun coloring and visiting with their school friends.

Here's Emma with two of her friends who also happen to have red hair.
I can't believe how Linsey and all her friends are starting to look so grown up. They start middle school next year... yikes!

The weather was gorgeous so I thought I'd try and get some pictures of my kids.
They thought it was too bright.

So, we played at the park instead.

Hunter went to a Roller Skating Birthday Party and Emma went to a Pizza Birthday Party. After we picked both of them up from their parties, we all headed over to our local grocery store to make Gingerbread houses. Unfortunately by the time we got there, they had run out. We settled for a few sweet treats and headed off to the Santa Parade.


I thought the parade was pathetic, especially compared to the last parade I saw which just happens to be the one at Disneyland. But, my kids thought it was GREAT! It was the Best Day Ever and at this point we could have been doing practically anything and it would have been fun. They were thrilled that people were throwing candy at them and even spotted some of their friends who were in the parade. How cool is that?

And we got to see Santa Again!

Tomorrow, we shall rest.
