The Shroyer Family: A Night Full of Fun!

Brenton has been in love with our little town way before we ever moved here. I used to hear, "we need to get down that way" for years before we ever did anything about it. I myself, love our little town, but this weekend sure made me love it even more. We had the annual 'Christmas on the Square' and boy, did we have a fun night celebrating the magic of Christmas. We ran into Santa & Mrs. Claus, went on a hayride to see all the pretty lights around town, ate popcorn, and decorated cookies. It's fun to see how a little place, like Gnaden, can pull off an event that everyone in the town loves. The place was jam packed with our neighbors, friends, people across town, folks we've never met, and teachers from Ethan's school. We had a family night and enjoyed getting out an about. Colin, he had to warm up a bit. At first, the crowd was too much and Daddy had to shelter him for a few minutes, but once Daddy took him off on his own for a little while he then warmed up and was fine. He enjoyed the hayride and seeing the lights! I loved hearing him giggle and singing along the way! Ethan, was so glad to see Santa. We've been preparing for him for a few weeks now, so getting to see him was the highlight for him. We didn't get to do everything that was at the square, only because Ethan and I had to head to the high school to watch Lynnsey & Logan perform in the high school musical Beauty & the Beast. Wow! Those kids, well the whole cast, did a fantastic job...I loved the performance. There is just something about a Disney musical!! I wanted Ethan to go and see how a performance is done, because this boy of mine, performs every single day and if drama is in his future I wanted him to see how it's done. Logan took him behind the scenes for a quick visit, so that was pretty neat and he loved it. He ran into his principal, the man that he looks up to so much at school, and that really made his night. LOL! Overall, we had a great evening....but, then to come home and see the Buckeye's slaughter the Badgers was the icing on the cake. Holy cow, a 59-0 win helped to make this house a very happy household! LOL!!
