This year's Christmas parade was the 75th anniversary and it was fantastic! The children love watching and listening to the bands and some friends of ours have a great house and front yard to watch it from. If you haven't been to Greenwood's Christmas parade you need to come down the first weekend in December and visit! Below are a couple cute pictures of Bennett and his best buddy William enjoying the parade.

We had the pleasure of keeping Schatze during the Christmas holiday while his parents were in California and loved it! Parker and Bennett couldn't get Schatze out of their mind when he first arrived but then Parker's interest waned and Schatze kept eating Bennett's sticks so then there was Lulu. She loved playing fetch with him and he was incredibly patient and gentle with her. Sometimes she wouldn't through the toy right away or at all and he would just sit and wait. Here are just a few of the many pictures that we took of them. I also have some video I will post.
When she came for the toy he would just drop it and let her pick it up. If it were Clif or I we had to make him let it go....it was pretty amazing.

He never took his eye off of the toys!

We really enjoyed keeping him and look forward to it again!
