Temple Christmas Parade





Hello everyone! Tonight we attended Lillian's 1st Christmas Parade- she has been to a parade before, but never IN one. She was thrilled and couldn't wait for the day to get here! And the day did arrive along with the cold and RAIN! Lillian was so excited to get in her clothes today and get ready for the parade and noting was going to stop her.

My friend, Becca, had made Lillian and her little girl matching sweatshirts. Plus, Lillian got to wear her first little hair piece and that made her sooo happy too. She loved that ponytail! She really wanted long hair, but I told her the ponytail would be great for tonight! She looked adorable in her long johns, turtleneck, sweatshirt, pants, socks, furry boots, jacket, hat and gloves! Too many clothes to keep up with! You should have seen Lydia trying to walk in all her clothes- she fell three times before we made it out the door! She would just tip right over! hee hee


I told Lillian all day long that if it rained, then we were not going to be able to make it to the parade. But, not only did it rain, but somehow I ended up in the parade too riding the float! So, it was Lydia's first time in a parade too! When we arrived, they told us we could ride the float too with Lillian. So, off we went in the cold and rain cheering for Extreme!


I must admit, it was fun waving to everyone and saying Merry Christmas. Plus, Lillian kept saying her cheer over and over again which was fun to hear, "Extreme Cheer Heading to the Top!" She really enjoyed herself and so did I! Lydia did great too eating her m&ms and trying to stay warm.


So, now everyone is snug in their warm bed and I am off to mine too! So, what is my lesson for the day, "NEVER SAY NEVER!!!!"

Love you all!

Julie
