Clemson Christmas parade- June.

On Tuesday night, we bundled up and headed to the Clemson Christmas parade.

Though you really can't see it, Tesser and I are wearing matching outfits from the June and Sadie collection. Now I'm the big one!

Oliver, or "Ovs" as he became known to Henry, waited patiently to see something with lights and a mini generator.

Henry got to be in the parade with his class. They had a trailer with Christmas tree inside.

That's Henry to the left of the little girl in the white hat. (And so you know, it was about 46 degrees out, so mama didn't make him wear a hat.) Henry was very excited to be in the parade, but the 8 days and visitors and lack of sleep really started to catch up with him. Then plop him down in a trailer all bundled up and he was asleep with in 5 minutes of the start of the parade.

Papa was also in the parade. He walked with the float so we didn't have to rush to the end to pick Henry up. Luckily, the school float was close to the front of the parade, so Henry was able to see the rest of the parade when papa woke him up at the end.

Natalie, or "Nads" as Henry now knows her, sat on a blanket and waited for someone to throw candy. Luckily, one float did bring candy, so we all scored a few pieces.

Someone put a lot of effort into this stroller. Lucky guy.

Oliver and Henry got really pumped when they saw something special coming.

It's Thomas! And you can even rent this for parties!

The best float of the night was the ReMax float. They had a hot air balloon basket with the flame thrower on top. I feel bad for the people inside that float, because we could really feel the heat when they drove by.

I sat still for half the parade, but wanted to run around once the JROTC performed with their rifles. Papa put me up on his shoulders so I couldn't get away.

And to end the night, Santa came by on top of a fire truck.

The parade was a great way to end 8 full days of guests. The Seiberts loaded up their van right after the parade and headed out of town to get a few hours of driving in before bedtime. Thanks for visiting us!
