Saturday Dec 13
We took the kids to the Denham Springs Parade and had a wonderful time. It's so fun to reminisce about when I was a little girl going to this exact same parade! It also makes me feel a little old too. But we had a great time and Kaiden was so excited to go to another parade. He still talks about the one we went to for Mardi Gras (at the beginning of the year!) We did have plans to attend Kaiden and Kalli's little friend's, Kailey, birthday party but I swore last year (after missing the Christmas parade) I was not going to miss it this year. Holly thanks for being so understanding and we were glad we got to the party just as Kailey was unwrapping her last present. Kadien being so sweet gave Kailey our present for her and he was so excited he told her what it was! Kids are so funny!

Back to the parade the kids were able to get really pumped up as we were walking to get our spot b/c we passed by Santa Clause in the fire truck. We packed sandwiches for the kids to eat while we waited and the kids had a fun time just playing in the street waiting for the parade to start. Kalli had us laughing while she was making herself dizzy and Kaiden walking all weird with his hands in his pockets. We caught so much candy, beads, cups, stuffed animals, straws and even a stocking! The kids loved every minute of it and although we now have even more junk it's hard not to want to pick up every bead they throw...even if you have bags full of the same ones at home!
Kaiden and Kalli waiting for the parade to start
Kalli entertaining us with her 'spinning' skills.
Kaiden goofing off in the middle of the street.
Watching all the Police motorbikes driving by to start the parade off
Racing to get the 1st bit of candy
Kaiden pointing out candy in the middle of the road that we wouldn't let him go get b/c the band would trample over him!
Kalli just watching the float go by and then she decided it was time to get her grove on!
work it girl! (I know it's the wrong way but still cute!)
Santa Clause is coming to town!
Getting the last treats to stuff in our already overflowing bags!
