santa parade

in honor of the post-thanksgiving/official-christmas-season/long-weekend-together-as-a-family i researched fun holiday activities and found the santa parade!  its actually a 20 minute holiday parade that is every night between now and new years but the first night is santa night!!!  20 minutes is the perfect amount of time for a parade on a chilly november night!  plus, one of the drummers took his place right next to us - squirt-tot couldn't stop staring!  we had a great time.  the kids loved it.  we'd do it again.

this is fake snow.  its actually bubbles, pretty clever.  it looked nice!

squirt was so obsessed with the horses that i think he missed the fact that they were pulling santa!
