Christmas is in the Air!

The pace is picking up at the Sanford home for this month, but we are lovin' it!
We had Christmas on the River this past weekend in Demopolis and we took the kids to the Children's Day Parade, which was excellent this year, with many new floats!


Then, my friend Carrie and I took our older children to the nautical parade Saturday night. It was COLD, but we bundled up and got to enjoy 10 animated lighted floats on the Tombigbee River and an excellent fireworks display finale!


I always enjoy dressing the kids in Christmas clothing during December...just think all of it is SO cute! Here are some photos of some...never fear that each December blog will have some more!



Eric got a package in the mail from his Aunt Glendia and Alex and Reagan had a blast with the packing peanuts. They are so creative and silly! Good laughs! Alex got so hyped up that he tried to learn to long jump, which I caught in action, and Reagan took her sillies to the tub!



Alex has fully mastered pumping his legs to keep his own swing going. He wants to practice and show off each day after school! Here is a sneak peek at his success and joy!


Alexander's Cherub Choir sang in church Sunday evening for a unique "Joy of Christmas" service. This is his last year in the young choir, so he really participates now. They sang a long set of songs, but I am only adding a video clip of my favorite! Listen to these sweet lyrics! He has been walking around at home singing it all day today and it warms my heart! He is very into the real meaning of Christmas this year, which is a joy to hear and see!





We promise more fun and excitement this month and will keep you posted! I know yall are busy, but take time to focus on the gift of Christ and be set apart this season!
