Christmas parade

I haven't been to the Parsons Christmas parade for several years, so I really wanted to go this year. We almost didn't because I started getting a head cold last night, but we decided to brave the cold weather & go anyway. I bundled both of the kids up in snowsuits & layers of clothing so they wouldn't freeze out in the 33 degree weather. Aaliyah really enjoyed getting candy & we got to see some people we know in the parade, so that was fun. I'm not really sure it was all worth standing outside in the freezing weather though. I took a few pictures, but I didn't get any of Liya. Some of the pics didn't turn out cuz of the lighting, so here are the few that I have. AJ fell asleep right before we left, then again during the parade. The sirens scared him & he started crying but I sat him up & then he was happy to see what was going on. He got bored with it pretty fast though & went back to sleep.

Christmas tree made from aluminum cans, it was pretty neat looking, it's leaning over cuz it had to come down to go under the underpass.

Cute Gingerbread house float

Here's the Santa float at the end of the parade.

He was all tuckered out, just slept & slept.
