Parade

Again, I'm behind on my posts, so I thought I would post a few of my "older" photos to try to get caught up! So sorry all you LOYAL fans of "Artistically Denied." ha, ha, ha

This is the parade we have tried to make a tradition (since Caitlin was two) the day after Thanksgiving. It's always so fun with Cody and Caitlin enjoying the "small city" feel, as it's nowhere near as crowded as the big NYC one they have every year. But, it is filled with lots of fun and interesting characters that the kiddos love to see and hug and high five and scream at, etc.

Caitlin and Cody just enjoying the show (but waiting for the next group to walk by).

Ahhhh, the ever so lovely snow things. I really couldn't tell what these were exactly, but both Caitlin and Codes wanted to get some hugs from those big, fluffy, white, marshmallowish people. Cody wanted to hug those big lady bugs, but I don't think they could see him with the eye holes way up high and he down so low.

Caitlin really enjoyed the bands and music. She was dancing through most of it.

A Raggedy Andy hug...what those would have been worth when I was young. Now they seem so much like mop heads or something. They were nice enough to stop and give our kiddos a hug though.

High fiving the gingerbread people. They were very friendly. I think they gave us all some sugar. ha, ha, ha

Finally, the big guy himself...Santy Claus. I had forgotten that he always ends the parade, so we were waiting through this big lull in the parade and I was ready to go. The lady next to me was astonished that I wasn't waiting to see the final float with Santa Claus on it. Whoops! We stayed.
