Christmas Parade

Last Friday Adam and I took Adalyn to watch the Christmas parade. We asked my mom to come over to watch Landon since he still didn't feel 100% and had a bad cough and snotty nose.We met up with Hope, Ryan and Liam and Adalyn was so excited she was going to see Santa. We had to wait about 20 minutes or so and she asked over and over when the parade was going to start so she could see Santa. Thankfully, our waiting was up and we saw police cars and firetrucks to start the parade. She was in awe at everything she saw. Ryan gave Adalyn a bag for all the candy. Adam and I were obviously not thinking about bringing a bag for her. Oops. Once she realized people were throwing candy, she had a blast picking up all the pieces. When it was over, I bet we came home with more candy than we did for Halloween. We had a great time. We stunk to high heaven though once we got in the car and could smell ourselves. We smelled of nasty diesel, smoke, gas, and whatever else you can imagine that goes with being around vehicles that close. Landon was sound asleep when we got home, we changed Adalyn's clothes and put her to bed, too. It was a quick, but fun outing! Getting ready to leave for the parade. She is very animated, can't you tell?

These next two pictures will make you smile just by looking at the excitement on her face. It's Santa!
