Raleigh Christmas Parade 1

You've got to dress warm when it's November and you are getting ready for 2 and 1/2 hours of the Raleigh Christmas Parade (I think the Thanksgiving Parade was sometime back in March...).

When a boy's prepared for the weather, he's all smiles at a parade.

This is how I watched a majority of the parade. I had a great view of the marching bands, the floats, the giant balloons and all the dancing girls.

Mommy's hair makes a great handle when you are sitting on her shoulders. Daddy's hair is harder to hold on to, so I usually grab his ears - no problem finding and holding onto those!
