SANTA CLAUS HAS COME…TO TOWN

Today we took Charlotte, Jacob and Oliver to the Santa Claus Parade. It was a pretty special moment for me to the share the parade with the kids. I have loved the Santa Claus Parade ever since I can remember - I even participated in the parade for two years once as a greeter elf and the second time as a poinsettia - so bringing my kids for the first time today was really neat!

Seeing the looks on their faces as the marching bands, clowns and floats came by was priceless. Jacob stood mesmerized by the fence for the full 2.5 hours of the parade, Charlotte was a little less focused but still enjoyed it none the less. Oliver also enjoyed it but fell asleep for some of it too! Nothing against the participants of course ;)

We had a fantastic viewing location thanks to passes we were given for the Rudolf VIP section. It was a great way to see the parade and we can't help but feel a tad bit spoiled by our experience today! 

We are very excited that holiday season 2013 has officially arrived. We can't wait for Christmas and we are already looking forward to next year's parade!
