Santa Parade-Santa

This weekend, for the first time since we have been married, I was a "Deer Widow."

This is Michigan talk for:

"My husband left us for the weekend to go kill Bambi."

I hate being home alone, so Karson and I (and Molly too) went to my parents for the weekend.

It was so nice to hang out with my Mom all weekend!

We stayed home Friday night and ordered in pizza,

and ate the whole thing saved the left overs for later.

 Saturday we took Karson to the Grand Rapids Santa Parade.

I was so excited to take him to the parade.

I remember going all bundled up when I was a kid.

At the end of the parade Santa comes.

We had Karson all bundled up.

He looked like the little boy in A Christmas Story.

  



 Karson loved watching all the floats go by.
He got excited when a dog would go by.
He danced when music played.

Then all of a sudden we realized he was asleep.

 He wasn't just kind of asleep.

A semi went by and blew their horn.

Kept sleeping.

We thought we would just wake him up when Santa came.

We realized when the semi didn't wake him up, it was hopeless.

So we missed Santa.

But Karson got a really good nap in!

And Mommy and Grandma Nana got some extra cuddle time.

And next year, we will see Santa.


A Side Note:
Notice the sweet baby boy on my side bar?
Cliff is a baby with DS, living in an orphanage in Eastern Europe.
He spends his days laying in his crib.
If he is not adopted by a certain age (not sure what) he will spend the rest of his life in an institution.
Jeannett from Life.Rearranged is hosting a huge fundraiser for baby Cliff.
To raise money for his adoption.
