Once again we continued our tradition of attending the Emporia Christmas parade (yes, it is still officially called the Christmas Parade!!!!). The weather was awesome for it this year. It was cold, but not freezing! We started the night by getting some food from Natasha's (a bar and grill that some friends of ours own) and then we walked a couple blocks to the van to eat and watch. Maylea was wonderful through the whole thing. Cooper really got into it a couple of times. He really liked the cowboys that rode their horses and was shocked when he saw a "cowboy girl" on one of the horses. Some of the floats/entries can get pretty close to where we are sitting. Cooper would wave and yell at some of them, "Merry Christmas!"
When there was a short break in the parade, I went out to take a picture of the family watching. When I almost fell over hopping backwards from the squatting position the group next to us made some comment. So, just as I was snapping the shot Joshua and Cooper looked at them. I didn't have time to take another one because the parade was coming again.
Santa is always the last float in the parade. This was one of the few times Cooper got up out of his chair.
