Addison's 1st parade!

On Thursday, Don & I took Addison to Bryant's 1st ever parade of lights! It was freezing Thursday so we bundled Addie up and away we went. The parade started at Bryant's 1st Southern Baptist Church, which is right by our house. We parked at the nearby parking lot (which was easier than I thought it would be) and we waited for it to start. Aunt Lindsey (my best-friend) had a float in the parade so we were anxious to see her! We stayed in the car until it started and watched right on the side of the street. I thought Addie might be scared because the parade started with a police escort with the lights flashing and sirens going, but NOT Addie...she just looked around....(G-O-O-D! like Aunt Tiffany and I would say!) The parade started and she loved it! There were many floats with music and people singing Christmas carols....Addie's eyes were big and she would not take her eyes off of the floats. We had her bundled up but she would not keep her mittens on or wrapped in the blankets. She had to have them out to. When she gets excited she shakes her arms up and down....she was doing that the whole time. The parade lasted about 30 minutes and at the end we saw Santa.....Addie's 1st time seeing him! The parade was great...and Congrats to Aunt Lindsey for winning 1st prize on her school's float!
Here are some pictures...like always!
