Saturday night was the Norfolk Grand Illumination Parade. Chris, Cody and I went. I hadn't been in years. We had such a great time as a family. At first Cody was not sure what all the fuss was about, but after he saw the first horse, he was totally in to it.
Things I forgot:
*That I put Cody's gloves IN his diaper bag, so I put mine on him and let my hands freeze. Once we got back to the car and I found them, I felt like a retard.
*To pick a place to meet the Schrodts. We never found them, put were both able to have a great time on our own.
*My camera. I could have kicked myself. Hence no pictures! :)
Things I remembered:
*HOT COFFEE!!!!
*Lots of layers!
Things I loved:
*Seeing the twinkle in Cody's eye at his first real glimpse of Christmas! He recognized Santa. He loved the huge balloons. The horses were without a doubt his favorite! He waved until his arm was about to fall off.
*Amazing family time.
*Getting to walk down the middle of Waterside Drive. It was so weird!
We will definitely go back next year! What a blast!

I've gotten one of those crescenet comments before- what are they? I wish we could have gone - hopefully we'll all be healthy next year. At least you've scoped it out and know what to do now. Ready for Williamsburg? Glad it was so much fun for Cody - he's so cute!
SIGH! I hated to miss the parade, and of course everyone's blog about it makes me even more sad. Glad you all enjoyed a special holiday tradition as a family.
Fun, fun, fun! We were sick so we watched on TV. Glad you had the chance to experience it first hand!
We'll be better about the plan next year, right??? It was so fun - just would have been even FUNNER if we had found each other! :)
Jessica...I love how you wrote this blog...what you loved, etc! How fun to read!! It was a great parade! That precious little Cody is so adorable!! I can just imagine his little curls enjoying the show so!! :)
