Christmas Parade

A few weeks ago Greenwood had its annual Christmas parade. It's an evening parade, so we debated how to handle it as Lawson's bath/bed time routine usually begins around 7:30p and the parade didn't even begin until 7p. We decided to just go with it. I'm normally a pretty routine kind of person. So is Jason. But with Christmas coming up we knew there would need to be some flexibility, so we thought this might be a good test run.

We had a great time! Parking was nuts as everyone in a 30 mile radius seemed to have turned out for the parade. Luckily the parents of one of Jason's high school friends live about a block from the parade starting line, and they were happy to let us park in their driveway. I was afraid the band and all the fire trucks would be too loud for Lawson, but he did great. He clapped and pointed and the "ights" (lights). We left just before the end and took a back way home to avoid some of the traffic. 

I just love spending time with these two boys of mine!
