Chapel Hill Christmas Parade

A couple weekends ago, we were thoroughly entertained by the Chapel Hill Christmas Parade. Thanks to Tanya Freedman, who reminded us of the parade, we didn't miss out.

















We met the Freedman's at their house and walked up town to get a spot on the route. It was a beautiful day, although we were dressed for 25 degrees - the starting temp for the day. As the parade went on, we peeled off the layers.



Amelia and Shelby had a grand time! With all the candy thrown at us, the girls were a bit confused as to which holiday we were celebrating - Christmas or Halloween.

They cheered for the girl scouts, boy scouts, PTA thrift shop, local high school bands, and all sorts of other floats that came by. The highlight, of course, came at the end when Santa's float arrived. Squeals of "Santa, Santa, Santa!" filled the air.



All in all, it was a great way to start our Saturday. We've already reserved a spot for next year's parade!
