Santa and Barney and Fireworks. Oh My.

I love the fact that G. is finally old enough to be excited about make believe stuff like Barney and Santa. Last weekend our hometown had two festivals for children. The first one was held at the Pavillion and that is where we got to watch Barney with our girlfriend, Savannah.

G. cracks us up. All the other tots, like Savannah, are smiling and singing. G. is just staring at Barney as if he's not quite sure what to think. Personally, I've never been a Barney fan but Gregory does like the music!

The best part of the day was making kites with daddy and trying to fly them down the hill.

The next day was the lighting of the doves. This is such a great event for kids. First of all, Gregory got to touch and try to walk on "snow"! He got to touch real snow once, but he was only nine months old and surely doesn't remember it.

Then...came Santa. And, even better than Santa...dancing and singing with Santa....and even better than dancing and singing with Santa? Fireworks! Wow!
