Parade!!!

There is nothing fun about working weekends....especially around the holidays....

Luckily, I was able to sneak out of work early on Saturday.

A few months back, we were asked to join our friends, the McGlassons, at the Electric Light Parade downtown and I knew the kids would love it!!!

After a quick trip through the drive thru, we followed each other to find some parking downtown....

It was a cool night, absolutely perfect for parade watching!

Our original seats were up on the curb, but eventually we moved to prime time front row seats on the parade route.....

This was the best of 3.....the flash was always so bright since it was dark outside and someone always was squinting or blinking...

A little relaxing 'guy' time before the parade started...
The kids were kept entertained by their cotton candy....

"sticky mommy"......"help me"

The kids were in awe of the lights and parade and you could see the 'magic' in their eyes as they took it all in.....

Even the marching bands were wrapped in lights....

I can't believe any of the kiddos had voices the next day since they shouted "merry christmas" to everyone that walked by...

'in awe'

What could be better than a seat on daddy's lap...

Here are a couple pics of some of the floats....

This will FOR SURE be an annual event now......

Thanks for asking us to come with Jen!!!!
