Caleb's first parade

So this is from Thanksgiving weekend, but these days finding time to blog is getting much harder than when it was just Kylie...
I could have skipped it, but we attended this same parade the Saturday after Thanksgiving last year with Kylie (click here) and I wanted to remember Caleb's first parade too! It was COLD and damp that day, and at first I wondered if we were really going to make it through the parade because Caleb was whimpering about the cold. Then the firetrucks approached and he forgot about the temperature outside. We paused for a picture...
...and if you wonder where the rest of the family was...
...that's Kylie and Ian in the front right corner. Our friend Joe (Susannah's Daddy) has connections everywhere and could get Kylie on the float if she wanted. Ian said that at first she was scared (both of the noise of the firetrucks in front of the float and the Eagle mascot on the float) but as soon as she saw parade watchers waving she came to life and began to wave her little arms off. She was so ADORABLE!
Caleb was entranced by the entire process and he actually began to cry a bit when the last float went by. When Ian and Kylie finally got back to our location, we got a cup of hot cider and listened to our praise team from our old church sing a few songs before we headed back to Mama's to warm up and take naps.

And I'm not positive which morning this picture was taken, but I thought it was so cute. Since Kylie could talk she has called this little niche "her seat" and we were thrilled to see that she invited Caleb to sit there with her.
