<\/a>It’s been a busy month. I can’t believe that we are in the last week of 2014.<\/p>\n Here’s a look at some of what we did this month.<\/p>\n First up, the Rome Christmas Parade.<\/p>\n Chayton’s Cub Scout Pack had a float in the parade. It was a surreal experience. Half of Rome was in a float and the other half was standing along the road, within arms reach.<\/p>\n It’s quite odd sitting in a float while smiling and waving at people you could reach out and touch.<\/p>\n Then it was off to Fire Station No. 1 for a Pack field trip. It was impressive to see the Fire Station in action.<\/p>\n The children were able to count down to Christmas with their Advent Calendars sent by Nana and Papa.<\/p>\n Actually starting in November, we worked to get our Christmas Tree up. The Tantes helped us to pick it out the weekend after Thanksgiving and get it all set up.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Soon it was time to play conductor of the Polar Express at Chayton’s school. I visited every classroom with the librarians bringing North Pole cheer.<\/p>\n Courtney didn’t miss out … getting to drop Chayton off at school.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Chayton learned that along with the joys of having a fish tank, sometimes you have to say good-bye.<\/p>\n Nazeriah and Chayton had their Holiday Concerts.<\/p>\n Kaija missed hers, as she was recovering from the flu. Lucky me, I was also sick with a flu-like thing and a sinus infection that just wouldn’t go away.<\/p>\n We caught a movie (Courtney and the girls watched Mocking Jay).<\/p>\n
