This time last year: December

This past Thursday Eric and I went to downtown Minneapolis for the annual Target Holidazzle parade with our friends DJ & Rachel. I love having all the different events going on around Christmas like parades. This time last year we went to the Christmas parade in Athens. We went every year while we lived there. I missed the Athens parade this year since it is a heck of a lot warmer in GA this time of year than it has been here in MN!

The holidazzle parade was OK. We mostly watched from one of the skyways in the city and were able to stay warm inside. (FYI...The skyways are a way for people to walk ALL OVER downtown without having to go outside. This is very important during our winters here since it can be biter cold and there can be a lot of snow, ice and slush on the roads/sidewalks.) The parade was very short. It only lasted 30 min. I don't blame them since it is so cold out, but still kind of a disappointment. I wanted LOTS of lights and there were probably only a half dozen floats. Even though the parade was a little bit if a disappointment it was fun to hang out with our friends!
