Saturday night, we took the boys to the Lebanon Christmas parade. Probably not our best first experience. The weather was beautiful, so there were a lot of people there - which meant long lines waiting for food. Not ideal with two two year olds. However, once we got our food, it was delicious - the pork chop sandwhich and chicken strips and fries hit the spot.
We were lucky to find a front row seat for the parade - by sitting on the road! The boys really liked seeing all the horses and the lighted carriages, but they are still talking about 2 specific elements from the parade:
1) Old MacDonald
One of the carriages had Ronald McDonald riding along. Of course, Brian and I made a big deal about it being Ronald McDonald, but all the boys heard was McDonald....and they were absolutely convinced that it was Old MacDonald (afterall, there were horses, right?). I guess it's good that they don't know who Ronald McDonald is, but it's funny to listen to them tell us that Old MacDonald had big red shoes!
2) Santa Clause
Mr. and Mrs. Clause rode along on the very first carriage in the parade. After they finished their parade route, they walked the route, waving and saying hello to everyone. We were lucky enough that they stood right in front of us! The boys were a little aprehensive, but smiled widely as the two continued walking on down the street! Lincoln kept saying "Meeeeerrrrrrryyyyyyy Christmas!"
