We went to the Annual Holiday Parade downtown this morning. How fun are parades, people?!?! It was the greatest thing. Both of the boys really seemed to enjoy it. Max got super excited when the marching bands passed us. He's a total music boy. He danced and bounced during every song. Can you blame him? There's something so peppy and cheery about a marching band Christmas carol. :) David was happiest about the motorcycle group that went by and the firetrucks. Oh, and the candy. It was a pretty low candy parade, but he was happy anyway. If only we could all be content in life with 3 tootsie rolls and a dum-dum...
Despite the large crowds, we were able to find some family and a few friends. We had plenty of people to sit by and banter with during the parade. I was once again impressed with how long the parade was. It lasted just over an hour and a half. By some sort of Christmas miracle, both boys were happy and content the whole time! It must be parade magic. We had a few meltdowns on the way home, but it was an hour past lunch so I was pretty forgiving. I had packed cheerios and crackers for a snack. Both were completely gone before we made it out of the parking ramp.
I'm in a festive mood now! I can't wait for Christmas shopping!
