A few weekends ago we went to Roo's work Christmas Party.   It was nice to have an excuse to dress up and take the kids to a sitter.  We also went with some friends from church to watch a parade of boats (only in Florida!)

I'm not sure if I already posted this picture but Ty enjoys doing everything his big brother does. 

Waiting for the parade to start

After the parade there was a fireworks show which was really neat.  So far we are really enjoying living in Florida!

Christmas list

Ryan made his Christmas list this year and I have to say I was quite impressed.  I am so glad that he is in school here because he is learning so much!   I'd like to think I'd have taught him how to write kids he stayed home with me...but honestly I'm sure his teacher does a much better job than I would. 

Of course 2 things kid from his list are things I didn't plan on buying (I already bought him all that I was planning on).  He said we could erase and and he just wants the 2 things.   We ended up getting the main thing that he wanted (just because we could see it ruining christmas for him).  I guess if he wants a Matchbox airport it's the least I can do for him.   He's such a great boy!
