It's a rough life.

Wouldn't you agree?

At least until your kid joins you. Look at those grey eyebrows! That's the only indication that she'll be 10 in a few months.

Sunday evening was the town Christmas Parade. We had a great time. It was pretty cold, but the turnout was good, the floats were beautiful, and we got to see Santa. They had hotdogs and hot chocolate after, and a bonfire and fireworks. Katie was all excited to sit on Santa's lap until we got to the front of the line, so we didn't push it. Plenty of time for that later.

Lots of playing in the snow though.

It's funny to me that a kid who is so opposed to dirt doesn't mind at all when there is snow touching her.
