Today we all went up to my work again for Winter Wonderland 2008. Nate got his picture with Santa and we go to make a lot of crafts and such. Here's some pics from the day:
Nate with Santa. One that he isn't Crying...
Nate made a ruler Snowman also:
And he got to make some Reindeer Antlers also:
Got a pic from last year's where he made his Antlers also: He had named him "Dasher" cause he tended to "dash" back and forth everywhere that day. thankfully everything was pretty contained back then.
My niece ashton did this survey on MySpace on how you have changed in the last 8 years. Basically, they started with questions on work/school and stuff and did the 8 years, 4 years ago and now time periods. I started doing it until I realized that all my answers were the same......
It snowed here on Sunday morning so I took Nate out for a while before church so he could enjoy it. We worked together and made the snowman pictured below:
It fell over like 10 minutes later, so there isn't much left to show now. He had his little cozy coupe out there also, and I pushed it into the yard so it looks like it ran into the snowman.
Here he is playing with Cole the neighbor. I think Cole had been throwing snowballs at him so that is why he is covering his face:
lastly, we've set up the house partially for Christmas, have some more work to do. Lynn got Nate his own Christmas tree and here he is posing in front of it:
Took down this morning to the St. Louis Thanksgiving parade. It had tractors, balloons and marching bands. Nate's favorites were the Balloons and the tractors. and the occassional firetruck. It was a pretty decent production. ONly down side is that since they were broadcasting on TV, every 10 minutes the parade would just stop. We got some good antics from Fredbird (the baseball Cardinals mascot) and got to see the Moolah Shriners drive those really small cars.
Here's some of the tractors:
Nate in his Liberty Crown.
The Waterloo German Band Float. I saw this thing on I-55 like two months ago coming home from Springfield. Lynn was asleep when we past it so now I have photographic evidence...
Fredbird. He got stopped and picked on the parade official. It was funny.
this was as giant shopping cart following Fredbird.
a firetruck:
Space shuttle.
Nate with his parade beads.
Louie the Lightning Bug, the AMeren UE mascot. To the right you can see the Red Bull girls. they just came out and passed out Red Bull to everyone. Louie was quite excited to get his Red Bull. He passed it on to the woman standing behind him.
It was a fun morning. We'll have to go again sometime. Some of my pics didn't turn out that great cause we were going into the sun.
Nate has been recently building his track layouts on the floor instead of on the train table. Here's a layout that i helped him with some time back and Jackson decides it's the perfect place to lay.
