Franklin Christmas Parade


Dear Abigail,
You went to your first parade! Mimi came into town, so we went Christmas shopping on the square. You were so good going in and out of the shops before the parade even started, and even fell asleep. I don't know how you did it because it was another brutally cold day, but you slept away...

And Mimi patiently waited beside you! (doesn't she look pretty in her green!)

We thought for sure you'd be awake by the time Daddy and The Grugett's got there, but no, you just kept on sleeping, AND, Ryan was asleep!! It must be a baby thing!

We had a good spot, though, with the sun shining right on both of you. Otherwise, you would have had frost bite on your little toes! Finally you woke up, but your buddy kept on sleeping. But then the parade started and we knew oh Ryan would have to wake up - he couldn't sleep through his first parade! And what a parade it was. Daddy and Mr. Lee decided we were going to be in the parade next year, maybe even have a competition between the Grugett's and Clark's for the best float!
You and Mimi had such a good time waving at all the bands and the kids throwing candy!

Mimi even missed Santa because she was trying to scrounge up Tootsie Rolls for your Daddy!! After the parade, me, you and Mimi went straight home and got a good nights sleep! We were super tired from parading around all day!! Over all, A+ for your first parade!!!!
