Snowflake Parade

The kids enjoyed Millburn's holiday parade this afternoon despite the 38 degree weather and wind gusts up to 30 mph. I bundled them in their snowsuits (who knew L.L.Bean's size 4 would be so huge?) and tried to position them with their backs to the wind. Greta insisted on wearing her ballerina shoes, so as you can see, she was truly a vision from head to toe:

Lincoln fell asleep on the drive over and then slept in the stroller for an hour, waking up just in time to see the emergency vehicles with flashing lights and Santa on the ladder truck.
Post-parade we enjoyed hot cocoa and holiday window decorating at Duncan's with friends Jack and Emma. Duncan's mom, Nicole, survived their affection, and we returned home with only two hours to occupy 'til bedtime. An afternoon treat for the kids, and an evening treat for the grownups!
