Christmas Parade
The Ellsworth Christmas Parade (yes, Christmas, not Solstice as one grumpy old man made very clear) was this past Saturday.
It was pretty cold, but we bundled up and found a sunny spot along the parade route.

As always, the highlight of the parade (besides Santa, of course) are the Anah Temple Funsters and their after-market character costumes.

| Mickey? Disney, please don't sue! |

| Um... Kermit, I guess? |
It was a fun day and (I think) a new yearly tradition.

First Cheerios
The dog ate almost all of them since Oliver was more interested in spreading them around than eating them. It was a fun activity, though!

It's the Holiday Season!
... aaannnnd Whoop-dee-doo, and Dickery Dock, don't forget, to hang up your sock!
For us, the holiday seasons starts with Peter's birthday and ends with mine. As part of the festivities, we went to Denny's with some friends to enjoy their Hobbit-themed menu. The food is so tasty, but so terrible for you... Peter and Oliver wore special shirts for the occasion:
With that out of the way, it was on to Thanksgiving and Oliver's first turkey (that wasn't pureed) and mashed potatoes.
He wasn't so sure about the turkey...
But the mashed potatoes were a big hit!
After an outfit change, we lounged:
It was a fun, but exhausting day.
In other news... We're getting pretty excited for the first real snow to fall. Nothing in the forcast, but hopfully we get some white stuff so we can use Oliver's new sled (well, new to him...). There was a baby/kids gear and coat swap at the Grange hall. I got rid of the bassinet that we never really used, and scored an awesome, solid sled with a back that Oliver can sit in. I also picked up this cute tractor. It doesn't have a brand name on it, but I think a certain Aunt and Uncle would approve.
Oliver has also been working on his hat modeling skills. Watch out Zoolander, my baby will have Blue Steel nailed any day now!
Oh- and in case you were wondering if he is growing... remember when he looked like this in his bouncy seat?
Well, now we have this:
Oh crap!
He has started pulling up on everything, and can throw himself out of the seat, so, time to put the bouncy seat in storage. Thank you, bouncy seat- you were the best. Really.
This weekend is the Christmas Parade in Ellsworth, next weekend my Uncle comes for a visit and then we are almost to Christmas and a visit from my Aunt and cousins. So much to do, but so much fun! I'll try and keep the pictures coming!
