Holiday parade

Sea of people flocked to downtown watching the holiday parade. We spent almost an hour in traffic congestion and looking for parking. I'm glad we made it. As first we're standing shoulder to shoulder in the midst of the crowd. As we moved along down to the street, we're surprise to find some space to sit down enjoying the parade itself. The most exciting moment for Elle must be getting the candies thrown by the people in the parade. Surprisingly we stayed till the end of the parade.
After the parade, we walked to Irving's market getting a bite. Elle enjoyed her hot chocolate topped with lots of marshmallow.
The most wonderful surprise during our visit to the Santa House was there's hardly any waiting in line at all. The best of it was even Mrs. Claus was there too. Elle had been talking about wanting to see Santa Claus for presents and candies for a couple of days. When the time finally came, she held on her dada for dear life. Mrs. Claus was very nice to ask them to sit on her chair chatting with Santa. It's funny to watch her just sit there and stared at Santa Claus. When she got off, she came to me asking "Where's my present?". Guess what happenned next? She walked to the corner where lots of presents wrapped beautifully as props and wanted to pick one for herself.
Elle conked out as we're on the way home. The weather was so nice that we decided to hang out at B&N, wishfully thinking that Elle would still asleep. The moment we put her into the stroller, she's awake with eyes wide open. No luck for some peaceful and quite time.
