holiday lights parade

 

in town Friday night...
I wonder if I will ever master the art of photos at night, when it's cold (most of the photos are covered in a cloud of fog because apparently exhaling when you snap the photos results in just this thing)
we watched the parade in temps that were in the upper 30's it lasted for 15 minutes or so we then wandered down to meet Santa...a bit longer wait for that momentous event.  When it was our turn Reyna stared the jolly old man down and then redirected towards Mrs. Claus  where she sat quite contently for a photo...whew may I just say three is a wee bit calmer than two was.
home to drop off Popsicles (handed out during the parade...seriously) and then the decision to go out to eat, there was that minor episode when I backed out of the garage, mirror on passengers side did not survive (no pictures of that shining moment)  arrived at the restaurant to a packed standing outside the door wait...looked at the van full of kids and gave into their original request for pizza (yes that made Jake's delivery two days in a row....now healthy mom of the year award for me)
Christmas movie in the dvr all kids in pj's early curled up on the couch or chairs settled in for the night
enjoying Home Alone.  Not a bad way to spend a Friday night.
