We took Nathaniel to his very first Christmas parade last night (yes, I know, the week
before Thanksgiving?!). Although it was cold out, we all enjoyed ourselves. We arrived early in order to get a good spot (which we absolutely did!), and we had a chilly picnic of pizza for dinner. While it was hard for Nathaniel to wait for the parade to begin, he did enjoy watching the crowds.
Once the parade actually began, he seemed to really like watching it. I think his favorites were the Christmas floats covered in sparkly lights, the dancers, and the horses. Several people eve made sure to give Nate candy canes that they were passing out! We had a late night (
way past somebody's bedtime), but it was well worth it for a fun family night--and a great way to get into the holiday spirit!
