Here are a few shots from early December. We really tried to get a jump on decorating this year because we were expecting a lot of company and were hosting a neighborhood breakfast, and we were excited about seeing our new house all gussied up!
We attended our first Hillsborough Parade. It was great! For a tiny town it puts on a nice show. Cora realized that if you wave they are more likely to throw candy. WELL-- She got the idea! I thought we were going to have to ice down that girl's elbow that night.
If you ask her which part she enjoyed the most she will tell you that seeing her best friend in the firetruck was it. She also enjoyed the bands, tractors, and a SCHOOL BUS! Most people certainly thought that a bus is nothing to get excited about. But there must have been a 2.5 year old on the parade planning committee. It was a hit! You can see the excitement on her face! Cora also enjoyed the Mama-will-wait-45-minutes-in-the-coffee-shop-for-$2.50-hot chocolate, while there is $.50-hot chocolate-offered-by-the-boy scouts-right-there-on-the-sidewalk. We'll know better next year.
She had a great time and is clearly a lover of parades like her mama and Aunt Ann.
This is another benchmark picture. Last year the picture was taken just like this but before the Chapel Hill parade. Can you see the excitement on her face?!
EXCITED!!!
Coy and I joke that if all she had to rely on was pictures, she would swear that her parents are not together. All pictures are of Cora and Coy or Cora and me. None are of all three! AND the pictures she takes with Coy are great and the ones with me... not so much. Not fair. We need to hire a full-time photographer or get a tripod!
At the tree lot- I included this one because we have one standing in this same place every year. Look at our little Christmas elf grow!
