Santa Claus Parade 2011

The boys and I had an AWESOME day today. Nothing special, just happy boys, that made a happy mom!

When John got home tonight we had supper, and then packed the boys up to go to the Santa Claus Parade. I LOVE that Christmas is in the air. We picked up G-pa, and were off! We met up with a friend that we had not seen in ages which was awesome...but unfortunately we were not able to connect with the friends we were planning on meeting...it was CRAZY busy since it was such a nice night. The parade was awesome and the tree lighting was awesome. The only thing about today that was NOT awesome was that I just found out that we missed a flash mob!!!

Anyways here is a pic of me and my 5 guys at the parade :)
