Fumbles and Memories...

Dear Son,

Christmas is well upon us. Many bumps, scrapes, and bruises later, our front yard has been transformed into a winter wonderland. Our tree is beautiful - and I've bought all new Son friendly ornaments so you can touch and feel and investigate . . . although I am not certain the sugared fruits, though beautiful, were such a good idea - as you keep plucking this one apple from the tree and exclaiming "eat!!"
This past weekend we went to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg TN for you participate in the Christmas parade - riding on the float of a children's boutique -of which the owners had invited you. The parade was large and beautiful, as was the float but of course, you know if you rode, then I had to ride. It was chilly but we made the best of it.
I'd show you some pictures of the event had I not dropped and broke my camera just as we were loading up from the hotel to head to the parade. It was a little heart breaking, but I promise to keep the memory crisp in my head to share with you for years to come.
It was still a magical weekend little one, and I can barely wait for next year.
