Wishes...

Today Hayden and I were in the car and he asked if wishes always come true. I explained that throwing coins in the water and making wishes before you blow out the candles was just something fun to do but what you wish for doesn't always happen.

It was quiet for a little while and then he said, "Well, I want my coins back!!! Why is it that adults give little kids money to throw in the water when you get no wishes!?!?!!"

That should stop him from ever finding gambling attractive and maybe he will be a good saver.

Christmas on Caddo

We have really come to enjoy Caddo Lake! It seems as though you can see Caddo Lake from most of Oil City and we can even see it from our house. Everytime we go over the Caddo Lake bridge Parker says, "Caddo Lake, see Caddo Lake, Mommy!"

Last weekend, we went to Christmas on Caddo, which is held right on the bank of Caddo Lake in Oil City. This was our first of, hopefully, many years to attend.

The boys telling Santa what they wanted for Christmas. Parker wanted Power Rangers and Hayden wanted Transformers.

Part of Christmas on Caddo is fireworks. While we were waiting we started taking pictures. It was so dark I couldn't see what I was taking a picture of but was surprised once the picture came up.

A nice lady took our picture.
