Holiday Parade of Lights!

We love our town! There are so many fun activities, and we had so much fun at the annual Parade of Lights on Main Street! It was soooooooo cold, but we bundled up and headed out. Jamie even got a chance to wear his famous hat, although once we got there he was a little disappointed he didn't wear his Santa hat. I gave Kaiya some new purple mittens, which she was thrilled with (purple is her favorite color).

(It really isn't snowy, they spray the grass white, I don't really understand why)

There were lots of fun floats

Decorated classic cars

I liked this one because I have this exact car (including the tree on top) in my Christmas village.

Kaiya actually liked running around the grassy area we were in front of better than watching most of the parade, but she did enjoy the marching bands and the animals, including this fun guy:

Kaiya even knew someone in the parade! Her friend Betty and her mommy, who runs the spa at the Great Wolf Lodge were marching with a giant reindeer. Our town isn't a small town, but it kind of has that feeling, that is one of the many reasons we love it here.

We actually stayed until the end when Santa came by in a horse drawn carriage, but unfortunately I didn't get a good picture of him & Mrs. Claus. However Kaiya was happy to pose with her new friend the Mr. Polar Bear...
