We have a tradition in our family. The day of Parker's annual Christmas Carriage Parade, we make reservations at one of our favorite local restaurants on Main Street. In the warmth of the restaurant, we enjoy watching the carriage parade while we have lunch. This year, it was in the mid-60s and couldn't believe it! We started our morning with the petting zoo and pony rides, where we ran into friends. Emalie was in heaven having a buddy to hang around with, and we had a nice lunch together as well. After lunch, we were off to the library for an ever-long line to see Santa. As if that weren't enough to pack into one day, we spontaneously headed into Denver for the Christkindl Market. (Might as well make the most of a beautiful day, right?) Hope you're all happily preparing for the holidays as we are at the KraussHaus! The countdown to family arriving is on! (By the way, if you notice that Nik is missing from this day, he was clocking in community service hours for school by working at the high school's basketball game. He seems to run his own social agenda these days!)
