This year we were able to experience the Christmas parade in a whole new way... We were actually in the parade! Our friends invited us to join them on their float, which was actually a boat! It was so much fun. Audrey and Claire LOVED every moment! We rode in the boat while Brock and some of the other adults walked along side the boat passing out candy. The parade was at night so the boat looked amazing decked out in lights and garland. We waved and shouted "Merry Christmas!" to the crowd. Sometimes the float would have to stop to navigate the turns and the flow of the parade. When this would happen Claire would instruct me to "just keep waving" and not to say Merry Christmas again because we had "already told this group"... When we would start moving again, she would tell me it was okay to start saying Merry Christmas again. It was so cute and also very hard not to laugh because she was so very serious about it all. At the end of the parade, Audrey and Claire had fun modeling the "Sold" sign that hung on the boat during the parade. A few photos from the night are below... Enjoy!

Our friends took some more photos that I will add to this post when I get them...
Looks like lots of fun! I hope it's been warmer down there in Florida than it has been here in Alabama.
