Neiman Marcus Adolphus Children's Parade

This year I decided to take Payton to see the Christmas Parade in Dallas. Nick had to work so I was alittle nervous about venturing out in downtown that early by myself ... but we had a blast. We were supposed to meet up with The Scowdens but ... we were at different sides of the parade and never made it. So ... I walked along the parade route and ran into some friends from work, The Smiths, and Payton and I joined them. They had the best seats in the house ... we were right on the curb with no one in front of us (Thanks Jim) ...

At first Payton didn't know what to think of the parade ... she just stood there for the 1st half hour staring at the bands, floats, clowns ... in awe. After she warmed up ... she was screaming Merry Christmas, woo hoo, Ho Ho Ho and all of the wonderful Christmas cheer. She was giving high fives to all the characters and clowns that would venture over in our direction. Her favorites of the day was the Horses ... Yes she is just obsessed with horses and today it was no different. She also loved all the big floats and characters and bands. We had so much fun ...
