How much Christmas can one have in a day?? I feel like I've had a ton. We started out the day at Breakfast with Santa at Bass Pro which was also Amelia's birthday party. Kate didn't last long and was soon requesting her bed, and daddy was more than happy to take her home for some quality napping time. Luke and I wandered around Bass Pro for a while looking at all of the animals. Then we came home and quickly got ready for the Christmas Parade. (Daddy and Kate also napped through this!) Sandy came over and Luke, Sandy and I headed downtown for the parade. It was lots of fun. The weather wasn't too cold but very windy. Luke modeled his new superman gloves in one of the pictures. He was quite excited to see Louie the Cardinals mascot and Captain Jack Sparrow even waved at him. He seemed to be mesmerized through the whole parade and at one point asked me to identify what part of a float was. I told him that it appeared to be a punching bag because the float also had a boxing ring on it. He followed with the question, "Well, will it shoot out suckers?" Needless to say, we came home with a large bag full of candy that he collected from all of the paraders. When the parade was over, we were talking about what our favorite part was. Sandy said she liked the horses the best, I said I liked the marching bands. Then I said, "Luke, what was your favorite part of the parade?" Without hesitation, he replied, "the Tootsie Rolls!"
We failed to get Kate in any of the pictures because she was too grouchy or at home in bed. Bummer!

Luke was very excited to see Louie-the Springfield Cardinals mascot.
This is actually a picture of the back of Captain Jack Sparrow...We (Luke) were so excited that he waved to us that I forgot to take his picture!
Luke also thought the big tires on these army trucks were awesome.
The horses were Sandy's favorites and then of course Santa was the big finale!
Then in the evening we drove around Springfield and looked at the Christmas lights. What a fun-filled Christmasy day!
