Saturday morning, we bundled up and headed downtown for the annual old fashioned Christmas parade.
We’ve attended the last four of the parade’s 17-year run. As far as Ava is concerned, this is the start of the season, and it is serious business.
Tom joined us, too.
The parade began with a fly over:
Next up, about 100 entries, all horses and horse-drawn carriages.
Ava loved the carriage with Santa.
Bryan’s favorite:
Olivia loved all of them. She squealed with delight every time a horse came into view.
Every. Single. Time.
That was definitely my favorite part!
