Christmas Parade

Our little family of three met up with some of our friends at the Dallas Christmas Parade downtown today.  Mia and Reese are in the same class at daycare.  We love hanging out with Scott and Holly, and little Ryleigh is so adorable!  Mia oohed and aahed over the floats and giant balloons.  She saw some of her favorite characters including Llama Llama Red Pajama, Madeline, and Curious George.  We stood in misty rain for a portion of the parade, but for the most part it wasn't too cold.  I love how Dallas celebrates every holiday and event in a BIG way.  Mia loved it!

This is the first year that Mia has somewhat of a concept of who Santa is and that toys can be had in return for good behavior.  She's sketchy on the details but excited at any rate.  Mia has been requesting her Christmas story book quite often.  She loves pointing out Jesus and the angels.  She's too young to understand everything, but she knows that Christmas is Jesus' birthday (which she likes to announce).
