Adolphus Christmas Parade

I am officially one week behind reality on my posts ... such is my life these days! Oh well! Anyway - Mark, Nora and I headed to Bill and Lisa's house early last Saturday morning to go to the Adolphus Christmas Parade. What a blast! Friday night had been a fun, but long night with my company's Christmas Party and Kim's 40th Birthday. Mom kept the baby girl for us, so that was nice. She and the dog headed out early on Saturday morning to go back to Alabama and we got moving for the parade.

The weather was pretty chilly, so we left Nora with the twins and their babysitter - definitely a good idea. Hopefully she will be old enough for the parade next year. Anyway, we headed out with Bill, Lisa, Will and Joe, Nick and Isabella. What fun we had! We all took the DART for the first time - hopped on the train at Mockingbird Station and headed downtown. Lisa had reserved us bleacher seats - note to self: a must do for next year! It was great to not have to get downtown too early and still have a seat. Plus, we got to see everything!

It was actually a really nice parade. Mark and I couldn't believe the balloons and all of the great characters that came down the route. What a great parade for kiddos of all ages! Here are some photo highlights from the day.
