After Emily awoke from her nap on Saturday afternoon, December 1st, we got bundled up and so that Emily and I could head downtown to the Christmas parade. After negotiating the traffic, we were able to park in the Richardson Street parking garage around 5pm. The weather was really quite nice in the 50's. The two of us, walked over to the Hyatt where we met up with Katrina, Christian, Mason, and Sydney. Thy had grabbed us a bench right out in front of the Hyatt so we could watch the parade. When we arrived, Daddy had already gone to Bertolos to get pizza for the group. During the time until the parade started, the kids enjoyed playing. In that time, Leslie, Megan, Quinten, Blake, and Little Q arrived. Due to all the people, it was about 5:45 until Daddy made it back with the pizza. We all ate, and got ready to watch the parade. It was kind of slow to get started with several breaks in between floats. For just a little while in the beginning, Emily was willing to ride on Daddy's shoulders to see better. However, due to a recent attachment to me, Emily got down and I supported her standing on the bench. She was really excited to see the parade. Her favorite part seemed to be the bands, but the symbols in particular. It started to get old after a while to her and she wanted to walk around and play by the fountain in front of the Hyatt. We did that and came back to our spot at the bench just in time to see Santa finish up the parade around 7:15. When it was all over,w e decided we would go to see if the light was on at Krispie Cream. Sydney decided to ride with Emily and I so the three of us made our way back to the parking garage. Unfortunately we were stuck in the garage for about 30 minutes due to traffic. It was defiantly not worth the free parking =) When we finally arrived at Krispie Cream, Katrina, Christian, and Mason were waiting for us at the table and Daddy was just making it out of the long line. Emily and Sydney enjoyed their snowman donuts, while the rest of us enjoyed the hot glazed.
