When I heard an announcement on the radio for the 2011 Christmas parade in Morgantown, I immediately marked it on my calendar (set a reminder on my phone). Kerriann is a huge fan of parades and I knew that she would love it!
It was extremely hard to get her to stay in her stroller and/or sit still, but I think the outing was a success regardless!
When the bands started to march past I decided to let her get down because she wanted to dance so bad. She was trying to dance in her stroller and I was afraid she was going to tip it over haha!
She was also a huge fan of the candy they were throwing. Most of it was not age appropriate which was a rough point in the night, but I tried to distract her by telling her that there would be a few M&Ms waiting for her at home if she was a good girl.
Kerriann even loved the firetrucks as they drove by blaring their sirens.
When it was time to go home, she cried and begged to stay longer. If it had been a few degrees warmer, we would have stayed until the end, but after 45 minutes my toes were numb and I knew hers must have been too. We just happened to be in the right place at the right time, because as we were walking to the car we passed Santa and one of his helpers on the street. After accepting a few pieces of chocolate from them, we were on our way home. Hopefully there will be another parade to take Kerriann to sooner rather than later!
