Wagon Rides

For the past two years Matt and I have enjoyed participating in many of the charity events that GE offers during the Christmas season. We usually try to be part of Christmas wagons and also food boxes. To read about what these events are, or our experiences with them 2008 is here and 2009 is here.

This year we did not get to participate in the food boxes, my side of the family was holding their Christmas over that same weekend. But we did get to go to Christmas wagons.

I did not get much assembling done. In fact I got NONE done. This is because I was chasing around a little girl who suddenly discovered that she LOVES wagon rides!

There was another 1 year old at the wagons event. She and Grace were walking up and down the vast expanse of the old Kroger that this was being held at. While toddling around a lady came by with a finished wagon and asked if we wanted a ride. So both of the girls got placed in the wagon and off they went. Grace's face just lit up. She was squealing and laughing the whole way.

Once we got to the location where the finished wagons were supposed to be, she did not want to leave. She tried to either stay in the wagon or get in a different wagon for another ride. So I realized that we needed to begin toddling and wandering between all of the tables where the wagons were being assembled and once one was finished there was no doubt that Grace would be near by to pat the wagon, hold on to it, and look up at the adult who was holding the handle as if to say "please, give me a ride" (add in adorable puppy dog eyes).

She rode in many, many, many wagons that night. She pushed wagons, and walked all around.
I think that we might eventually need to get her a wagon :)
