Christmas Parade of Lights

Tonight for our 2nd advent activity the three of us got to enjoy the Christmas Parade of Lights downtown and it definitely felt like Christmas outside. We all bundled up in our coats, hats and gloves and were still freezing out there. First we grabbed a bite to eat at Bogie’s and then we staked out our spot close to the beginning of the parade so we could get out of the cold a little earlier. Ava’s favorites were the horses, puppies, lights, big trucks and of course the music. I thought she might bounce right out of my arms a couple of times when she was dancing to the marching bands! Ava even made a new friend while we were there and scored a spot in her lap for a large part of the parade. She went home with a handful of candy canes too even after polishing off 2 or 3 of them during the parade.
