Christmas Parade

We went to our city's Christmas parade a few Saturdays ago.  It was pretty chilly (in the 40s) so we bought the girls some hot chocolates while we waited for it to start (I think we were near the end, so we had a good half hour wait at least).

It was a pretty typical parade... mostly churches, the high school band, the local university band.  Radio stations and pageant queens.  The girls liked it because they got lots of candy.  

Afterwards, there was a little Christmas "festival" at the old train depot downtown.  We went because they said there would be food trucks and we were all feeling hungry.  Sadly there were only 3 to choose from (besides ice cream and donuts), but we tried out some street tacos from one and they were okay (not nearly as good as our favorite food truck that we visit at least once a month, but it was fun to try something new).

I wore Henry on me in the Moby wrap during the parade, and he slept most of the time.  He was wide awake for the food trucks, though!  He finally started smiling a few weeks ago and it's been so much fun.  Such a cute little guy.  Most of the time he's either sleeping or eating or fussing, so it's nice to get a smile out of him every once in a while.
