'tis the season

This week kicked off the three week countdown to Christmas break.  Emmy tries to wear a different festive shirt each day.  


 Monday


Tuesday


We kicked off advent on Wednesday with an acts of Christmas kindness calendar.  They donated cans to a local food pantry to start!


Thursday


We made the annual Santa visit to Bass Pro Shop this week.   


Friday


Emmy had a meet early Saturday morning in Virginia Beach so we headed down Friday night so we could see Christmas lights and swim in the hotel pool.


Ready to compete!


Emmy improved her floor and bar score on the season.  The vault judges may have had their eyes closed, but she medaled in 4 events including all around.


After her meet we had lunch on the Boardwalk (basically the beach) and walked out to the water for a photo op.


Today was the Mechanicsville Christmas Parade.  It comes down our street so we host family and friends to help kick off the holiday season.  


Kathryn and Ella


Emmy and her friend Leighton


Bryce and the boys.


The parade ends with Santa on the firetruck.  He'll be back through the neighborhood later this week!


It's not parade day without eggnog (not pictured) and our favorite neighbors.  We're the BelJackLocks (Belcastro, Jackson, Whitlock) The Adams moved in after we named ourselves and we haven't changed it.  Now we're truly in the Christmas spirit.
