2013 arrives with the Rose Parade!

This year, we viewed the Rose Parade from the offices of a friend of ours who works directly above the parade route on Colorado Blvd.  Our entire small group came, along with Brant's cousin and family.  It was a wonderful thing, because, although we weren't in the thick of the excitement on the ground, there was breakfast, bathrooms, chairs, and room for kids to run around.  Perfect!

I'm sensing a theme with this red hat and Rose Parades..
Cars Land float!  Maddie liked this one.  Ok, I did too.

Great view, huh?  And not that far from where we live!
We had flown home from Oregon the night before, and had waited to give presents to each other as a family until we returned to Pasadena.  After the parade, we came home to give our kids their Christmas present from us...a new play kitchen!  It was a fun day! :)


She is starting to see what's hiding under all the paper!
I don't know what it is, but I am still happy about it!!
A new kitchen!!  How exciting!!  A wonderful addition to their room, and it has enjoyed hours of fantastic imaginary play!
