Katie's First Day of Christmas

Katie kicked off the Christmas season by going to the Scottish Walk/Christmas Parade in Old Town Alexandria with her friends Sophie, Cooper, Randy, and Nikki. She saw lots of bands, bagpipes, dogs, and men in kilts. She even saw Santa Claus riding on a firetruck. You can check out last year's video of it here.

We all then decided to go warm up and eat lunch at Clyde's. It was very yummy -- especially the spiced pumpkin bundt cake! Katie enjoyed some Cheerios that her Mom thoughtfully brought for her.

We skipped the boat parade of lights this year because it was cold and Katie was tired but we did go for a walk around the neighborhood to see the luminaries. Every year at this time our neighborhood lines all the sidewalks with candles in bags. It's a nice touch during the holiday season.
