Dylan's First Christmas Parade!

This was the annual downtown Sacramento Christmas Parade, 2008. OK, so it's not the Macy's Parade in NYC, but, hey, it's what we get! Actually, it almost didn't happen, what with budget cuts and all. But our illustrious (cough cough) new mayor, former NBA superstar Kevin Johnston donated part of his inauguration funds to pay for it. What a guy! So we took The Boy to see the parade and Santa. For the most part, he enjoyed it well enough. As always, he has his stoic face on, but that doesn't mean he didn't like it! Anyway, it was cold and we were glad to see Santa come riding along at the end.

Merry Christmas!

He liked the marching bands and horses a lot,

but his fave were the dudes with the Fez hats

and the go-carts!
