Our Busy Weekend

We had a very busy weekend! Friday night began with the School of Rock performance by students and staff from our school district. Jimmy’s Young Adult Program danced to “Beat It”. They did such a great job!:) I didn't get a good picture though because of the lighting.:( Then on Saturday, Saline had their annual Christmas parade. Jimmy was chosen to ride in one of the city trucks and toss out candy. The truck was all decked out in Christmas lights. He was so excited all week for this parade. Even though we froze our butts off watching the parade, it was so worth it to see Jimmy having such a good time! On Sunday, we went to get our Christmas tree. This was the first time we have had a real tree since Caleb has come home. When the guys were putting the tree into the netting, Caleb asked where the box was. LOL! Our artificial tree always comes up from the basement every year packed in a box, and he wanted to see the box. It was very funny! After getting the tree home and into some water, we went to our local Down syndrome Christmas party, complete with a chocolate fountain which Jimmy thought was so cool, decorating Christmas ornaments,(Jimmy made me a very cute penguin), pasta bar and Santa! There are no pictures with Santa and Elijah because even though Elijah was very comfortable climbing all over the couch behind Santa, he was no way going to sit on his lap!!:)
Have a great week, everyone!

  1. Ahhh, I wish there was a video of the dance. That would be awesome to watch. Sounds like you had a fun weekend if anything but the boys looked cold for sure. Merry Christmas.
