Holiday Parade!

Last night was the Perrysburg (the little township next to us) Stars and Stripes holiday parade. It was a Christmas/Veteran's day parade. The parade was at 4:30 and the tree lighting was at 5:30. It felt so much like a small town function! everybody knew everybody! the local bank was giving out donuts and hot chocolate and the floats threw so much candy that the kids were sick of it and there were leftovers in the streets! It was pretty chilly and some of the parade entries were hysterical! Zeb LOVED the marching band but had a come apart when all of the ambulances and fire trucks came by. He just hates the loud noises accompanied by lights. We parked right on main street and sat on the trunk of our car while we watched the parade. The hill billy truck was one of our favorite entries.

Santa Claus was in attendance and we all sang Christmas Carols around the city tree! It really was kind of fun (even though Christmas songs shouldn't be sung for a few more weeks). We'll definately be making it a tradition to attend :) That's another plus about being so far away from what we are used to. We have been able to start making a lot of our own new traditions!

here are the shots of little Z reacting to the firetrucks and ambulances. He is so dang funny.
