It didn't really feel like Christmas in the air today with 80 degree temperatures, but we nevertheless ventured out to see Chuy's Blue Santa Parade downtown. We met up with our friends Mark, Maria and their son Beck and walked all the way down with the double stroller. The kids enjoyed the floats, marching bands and different vehicles and they were able to donate toys to Blue Santa's truck for needy kids at the end.
Tonight was also the tree lighting ceremony at the Capitol, which we also saw last year. This time we got an outdoor table at a nearby restaurant with our friend Siiri so we could hear some of the carollers, then headed down to see the tree briefly before heading home. It was a long, festive day and while Dean was all wound up, Morgan was almost falling asleep and so it was time to call it a day.
Maybe we'll put up our travel-sized 2 foot high cardboard tree tomorrow to complete the holiday weekend. That'll take about 10 minutes.
