Forney Hometown Christmas

Once again it was time for the annual Forney Hometown Christmas. It started off with a parade, which we didn't go to because the kids went to the temple with the Primary. AND not to mention that it was something like 27 degrees out.....YIKES!!
Taylor's choir from school performed in the afternoon and so we were hoping that it would warm up. Oh it did to a balmy....35!! Thank goodness the sun was SO bright that standing in it ALMOST warmed you up. The kids did good standing there singing, but the sound system had MUCH to be desired! It wasn't until I went around to the back to TRY and get a decent picture of Taylor that I could actually hear them. There was alot of fun things for the kids to do. The bounce houses kept Hunter warm, they went down the BIGGEST slide EVER despite all the mud they had to trek thru to get to it and tried the climbing wall again. We had a great time and can't wait to do it all again next year!


Taylor was in the second row by the red antlers. We were bummed because we couldn't see her AT all.


Totally FREEZING!


I managed to get her to peek thru so I could get a picture.


I finally decided to go around the back and try and get a picture. That seemed to work AND I could hear them.


Hunter going down the HUGE slide. This slide is a Hometown Christmas tradition. Notice NO shoes, NO socks and it was BUTT cold out!


Taylor attempting the climbing wall again this year. She was doing really good, but her hands were so cold that they were hurting. She finally let go.


Hunter was climbing really good, but had the same problem as Taylor. His hands were hurting from it being so cold.


So he let go and swing out like he was repelling.

How much fun! We had a yearly parade scheduled last weekend here but it poured so they rescheduled it for this sunday..bummer we cant go cause nathaniel was suppose to be on the float throwing candy with the rest of the tiger cub scouts. Thats awesome that the 2 little kids tried to climb the wall. Love your background..I just used the same one for my Moms blog last week :)
