A few weekends ago you and I kicked off the Christmas season by doing one of my favorite things: watching the Raleigh Christmas parade! Daddy had to work so you and I went downtown and had the best time! I was a bit nervous to take you on my own, now that you're more mobile than you were last year, and the crowds are usually thick. But you were completely into it! We especially loved the marching bands. The parade is huge and brimming with bands, so we had a blast.
Sadly, I didn't manage to get any photos of the parade (I only have two hands, after all) :) but above are a few snaps from the morning. We stopped by to visit our friends at The Cupcake Shoppe on Glenwood Avenue after the parade. While you didn't get a cupcake (you got a little cookie instead) you cried when we left. And we both really loved the tree I snapped above near the parking deck we parked in. So cool and pretty! Know what else is cool? We passed not one, but two, of naenae's murals that day!
AND I couldn't resist...above is a photo of you and daddy at last year's parade!
