Holiday Happenings 2014




The Bentonville Christmas Parade is a big deal around here. It is quite a parade for a small town. Addison walked the parade route with her school choir and sang Christmas carols. Tommy and Gracyn walked with the MARS float and handed out candy. At least until the last leg of the parade, when they ran out of candy. Try being the candy company float telling people that you don't have any candy. No good!
Could she be any cuter? She was on a  mission with that candy!
Poor Reagan was supposed to be part of the MARS crew as well, but she had an unfortunate bout with the flu. Both types. A and B at the same time. In spite of a flu shot. Poor girl felt better by parade day and was well enough to watch from the sidelines with me, but she couldn't participate. 
She missed this fun too! Our neighborhood had a hot chocolate and cookies with Santa night. We made crafts, visited with neighbors and ate lots of dessert.
We did Facetime Reagan in to Santa and Mrs. Claus for a second.

We also managed to squeeze in several nights at the townsquare ice skating rink. 
Skating fun with friends.
Poor Tommy, he was a trooper. He wears a size 15 shoe. The biggest they have is 13. He loves ice skating, but not enough to curl his toes up 2 inches.
