the Christmas parade fiasco

Last night we went to the Christmas Parade in our town. It's right down the street so all we have to do is walk just a little bit to enjoy a (normally) pretty good parade. We always wait until we hear the sirens that are at the beginning of the parade before we walk down there. One- because the sirens are so loud and obnoxious and two- who wants to wait that long in the freezing cold? So anyway, we get down there and are having fun watching all the floats go by when suddenly the parade just seemed to stop. We all thought that there was no way that it had ended....Santa hadn't come by yet and we had only been out there about 30 minutes. I thought maybe we had missed more than just the beginning. But I stepped out into the street and saw a cop car coming and then regular cars behind it. I seriously thought the parade was over.

We were all pretty bummed at such a spindly parade this year. But we went back to my house and got money to go to Whataburger to get some cookies. So as we were eating our treats we see the parade going back by! Someone in the restaurant said that the parade had to stop because a little boy got his foot run over by something in the parade. But did anybody bother announcing that? Nope! So here we are thinking this had been the sorriest parade ever and it really wasn't! Ha ha! We got to see a little more through the windows of Whataburger, but it was ok. We had a memory with our crazy story and that's all that matters! Now, onto the pictures!

SNOW!

Yummy cookies!
Presley has just started wanting to drink out of straw.
She was showing us her full belly! She drank almost all of the water in her cup and ate half of her cookie! Ha ha!
