Holidazzle!

Along with causing great mischief this weekend, Grandma and Grandpa F came up and we went to the Holidazzle parade. For those that might not know, it's a nighttime parade downtown with lights and music and of course Santa! Most people stand out on Nicollet and enjoy the festivities, but we were lucky enough to know someone with a nice warm place to watch the parade from! We went to Brian's Uncle and Aunt's place downtown and enjoyed the parade and good company. Here are some pictures of the festivities:

Anna outside when G&G arrived.

Grandma F captured this great picture of Anna soaking her shirt...we have MORE teeth coming through! The top two are cut through now!

Resting with a quick bottle before the evening festivities!

On our way to the warm place to watch the parade we thought we should get one outside picture in front of a lit bus. It was too cold for Anna so she was buried in her bucket. Anna with Kathy.

Anna with Ron...she liked him, he gave her cheese :-)

Our view of the parade...we were 7 stories up, could hear the music and see things pretty well. It was definitely a great way to watch the parade with a 7 month old.

A good opportunity for a Mom and Dad picture.

And of course a family photo.

Anna wearing her new bib from Ron and Kathy. Her first Christmas bib.

Anna had a great time. She was a trooper and stayed up until past 9:00! Notice the cute new red bow she got from G&G while we were shopping.

We look forward to watching the parade outside in a few years when Anna will really enjoy it. A fun time was had by all!
