holidazzle parade

On Thanksgiving, the big kids made a plan for all of us to go downtown to the Holidazzle parade on Friday night.  First we had to get there way early to find good spots, and to get in a parking ramp where we could get back out of it again afterward.

The kids were all bundled up, and this is a good spot with Caribou Coffee right upstairs.

This is Nicollet Mall.  Normal traffic never goes down this street, only buses and sometimes police.

They had light wands for sale.

Everyone was excited.  Look at t.c.

Finally, the parade!

Here are people lined up in the skyway to watch.

Anyway, it was a fun night, and since this is the last year for Holidazzle, we lived it up.

Today was lunch with a friend, Christmas shopping, and more decorating.   The girls worked on the Christmas Village. 

Jay put up lights this afternoon, and I think we're ready.   Just the shopping and baking left to do.

Woo hoo.

Thanks you guys for a beautiful Thanksgiving weekend.  love you all so, Mom
