Parade!

Today was the start of the holiday season in Raleigh! We met some friends downtown for the Christmas parade.  All the kids had a great time.  I did too!  I am the first to admit how much I love parades!

They were fascinated by "the big balloons ducking under the light poll!"

This is one of our sweet friend's daughters who is 7 and was reading to Adeline at lunch after the parade.  Adeline is convinced that she hung the moon.  On the right is Adeline with baby Spencer.  We know she is not a baby but we still call her that!

 The kiddos with the Raleigh skyline in the back.

Just as the parade ends with Santa, so will my post.  A few weeks ago Adeline and I were talking about   Santa over breakfast.  I tried to tape it all but my phone cut off looooong before she was finished talking about how she wanted Santa to hold her.  I laugh out l loud every time I watch this, mostly because she is so animated.
