Walking in The Parade of Lights.
Griffin rode on his school float
for our small town parade last week.
It was a magical experience.
Griffin rode on his school float
for our small town parade last week.
It was a magical experience.
We started our journey
on a street
that was lined by
all the floats waiting to be
in the parade.
It felt like being back stage
before a circus performance.
The energy was so exciting
as high school marching bands practiced,
Christmas lights flickered on,
and everyone got in place for the parade to start.

The children were singing
and laughing
and jumping up and down
as the parade started moving
down the street.
Griffin was so thrilled
to be on the float with his
buddies from school.

We followed behind to stay close,
just in case Griffin suddenly
wanted off the float.
Roger and I had so much fun
holding hands and waving
at all the crowds
as we walked in the parade.
The streets were lined
with smiling people
and twinkling lights.
It all looked so dreamy.

The crowd got into the Christmas spirit.
A casual Santa was even there.
We made a quick stop
at the judges table
and the children sang
their little hearts out.
Their float didn't win
but it didn't matter.
It was such a fun and amazing night.
What a great way to start
the holiday season!

That looks like such fun. As a firefighter's wife our kids got first dibs on riding in parades on firetrucks or floats.. ahem as boys which do you think they chose solely for the ability to make noises and lights. Yeah.. you guessed it.
Looks like so much fun. Pretty photos of the lights.
I love the holidays!

Those lights are gorgeous. Love the picture of Santa with the balloons too.
What a special night!

Great photos! How much fun for your son. I know he must have been excited! :)
I LOVE a night parade! This year we had to go to a daytime parade and forego the night one. Made me sad. :(
Have a nice week!!! <3
How fun - we did something very similar this past weekend.
So charming and "little town" (in a good way). Reminded me of my fav holiday movie, "It's a Wonderful Life".. enjoy!
It looks so cool there. How fun to be in a parade.
What a fun, fun time. That looked like so much fun.
Aww. How fun. Gorgeous shots.
This looks like a wonderful evening. Don't you just love the holidays?
How cool- I remember those days of marching in the parade. It's just as exciting as watching it.
