Christmas Parade

We have not been to our Christmas parade in two years.  In '09  Mills was 4 months old, and last year, it was rainy and cold.  So, needless to say, this was Mills' first Christmas parade.

Tonight the weather was perfect.  It was cold enough for hats and coats, but not freezing.  We were unsure as to how Mills would react to being so close to the lights and sirens.  Our predictions were wrong.  He LOVED them and every thing else.  I think he was in awe of all of the people, lights, and noise that was going on.

We always meet all of the Beasleys on the square, and this year was no different. Uncle Keith's truck served as a stadium for Mills to get the perfect view, and stay out of the street. 

You can't tell here, but he was jumping up and down with excitement screaming "cheeeeeese!"

Mills could see the firetrucks coming. 

We saw Thomas the train

Mr. Chad with Lane and Bo in his super awesome cart!

Munford Methodist (and I wish I would have had a better picture) had an awesome float with a puppet show. 

Wow!  This float by Garland Baptist was beautiful too.

Here comes Santa Claus!

We ended the night with a trip to Mama and Daddy B's house for hot chocolate and snacks.  It is a yearly tradition, and we didn't want to miss out.  Mills is not yet "wild" about warm drinks, so he declined the hot chocolate and settled for popcorn.
