Christmas Parade

This Saturday we thought it would be fun to take the boys to the Alabaster Christmas Parade. 
Just as we were about to leave we called the boys in from outside and loaded them into the van only to discover that the oldest two had stepped in dog poo.  Awesome. 
After stripping them in the driveway, throwing the shoes in the wash, and putting new shoes on, we finally got going.  Now we were later than we had hoped and there was no parking to be found.  While we were waiting in traffic we could see the ginormous parade lining up behind the promenade.  Cars and people were everywhere.
Noah yelled in a panic from the very back of the van.
"I'm sorry to say this! But I am freaking out back here!  I left my binoculars at home!  I won't be able to see!"
Insert very dramatic hand gestures.
Kenneth and I were cracking up.

The parade was soo long.  I am not kidding.  It was almost a 2 hour procession.  We left not even half way into it.  The kids had had their fill.  But we are still going to make it a tradition.

Here are a few pictures from the parade.
Noah and Aiden had some pretty good seats after all.

Nathan, not so much.








And this last picture is to celebrate our victory later that afternoon.  UK over UNC.
 Asa is sticking out his tongue because he is thinking about UNC, 
it is certainly not because he didn't want his picture taken.

Go Cats!
