This is the first year we've made the attempt at going to the Christmas parade in our town. Honestly, it's always so freezing cold, and bundling up all the kids to fight the crowds to stand and wait...not on my list of fun ideas. But this year, I thought we should attempt it, since likely next year I won't want to take out the little guy in the cold. Apart from parking SO far away, we really enjoyed the parade! We didn't get there until a few minutes before it began so we didn't have to wait in the cold very long. And as far as the weather goes, it was snowing a little and made for a beautiful backdrop for the night.There were so many horse drawn carriages decorated with lights but I think the favorites were the ones with the miniature ponies. Sadly, none of my pictures of the actual parade really turned out well (bad lighting, I guess mixed with snow). But we did get a few cute pictures of us!
