On the first day of Christmas...

...there was a parade! EJ rode on a local business's float. I can't believe I didn't get a pic of her, but she was walking when she came by us and I was totally unprepared for her! Sophie was a little upset that her sister got dropped well before the start of the parade, and she fussed herself to sleep in the car for a quick snooze before the parade actually started. When she woke up, she still wasn't happy, but a balloon seemed to make everything better.

It was a little chilly, and it started snowing just as the parade passed in front of us near the end. Of course, Santa himself brought up the end of the parade, and instead of riding on a firetruck he was out greeting all the kids. The local paper's photographer snapped Sophie's photo as she was greeting Santa and then got her info from us, so she might just be in the paper this week!
