Kicking Off The Holiday Season

Every year we like to attend the local Christmas Parade, no matter what the weather is.

This year the weather was cold, but luckily it wasn’t snowing during the parade.

We met up with my best friend Stacey, and her kiddos.

Our kiddos sat together, and waited patiently for the parade to begin.

There were lots of floats, but me and my trusty camera were having lighting issues, so I didn’t get as many pictures as I had wanted too.

The Christmas Parade was a ton of fun, and all of the kids came home with a bunch of candy too.  The kids are definitely ready for Christmas to get here.
