Well it's been a little while since I last blogged but I have lots of updates!! So get ready for some multiple days of new posts :) I have until Jan 5th off from work so I am trying to catch up on my blog and also scrapbooking...ugh!!!!!! First off we took the boys to the annual Los Gatos X-mas parade back in the beginning of December. As always they had a blast and loved every minute of the parade. It started at 11am and ended a little after 1pm...I could not believe the parade was over 2 hours long, but I guess with 265 groups it would take 2+ hours!!! Here are some cute pics from the parade...ENJOY!!
Here is Logan around 9am in the morning standing in the middle of the road on the parade route. I don't know exactly how long the route is but I am guessing a mile and a half, or maybe more. We got there around 8am to find a spot to set up camp and there was already a sea of chairs lining the sidewalk and we were lucky enough to find one of the last spots right near the judging station!! It's insane how early people get there to save spots...crazy people!!!!!!!!!
Here is a picture of our new house we bought while in downtown Los Gatos. It has 4 bedroom, 3 baths and is 2750 square feet...and all within a few blocks from the heart of downtown Los Gatos. I just love it so much and can't wait to move in!!!!!!!! Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha, just kidding, I wish we could afford this $1.3 million dollar house...I wonder who is going to come up with this kind of money in this economy?? Cute house though, huh??
We went for a walk before the parade started to keep the boys busy and look what we found, this really cool old time car. The man was nice enough to let the boys sit down so we could take a picture. Say Cheese :)
Well, let's see...we got there around 8am to set up camp and went to breakfast around 8:30am and by 9am we were done and the boys were getting restless. So we walked around and watched all the people and bands setting up for the parade but it was still only 10am and the parade didn't start until 11am so what to do?? Shopping!!!!!!!!!!! My mom and I did some shopping to kill some time and this is one of the cute pics that Patrick took while I was shopping away. The boys were so excited for the parade, look at those smiles.
The gang hanging out waiting for the parade to start.
The endless sea of people and chairs waiting. I still can't believe how many people come to this parade!!!
It's almost about to start...the boys anxiously waiting, and Dylan eating of course.
And here we go...the start of the parade!!!!!
The super cool awesome Los Gatos/Monte Sereno Pipes and Drums. This was one of the boys favorite parts.
Hey look it's rudolph the red nose firetruck...super cute!!!
Yummy, YUMMY, CB Hannegan restaurant float. I so wanted to run up and grab some delicious meat. You could smell them coming long before they went by. Oh, so GOOD.
Good old Hillbrook School. I went there from preschool through 8th grade!! Ah, the memories...
Super cool bikers doing tricks. Check out the sweet picture I snapped below. I caught the guy in mid-air doing his jump right infront of the judging station. The boys loved it!!!!
Shriner's trolley...cool :)
And now for the boys favorite part...the legendary Stanford University wild and crazy band!! Logan just loved them and when we got home he pretended he was in the band marching in the parade, going wild and crazy like they were!!
My sweet Dylan was getting tired watching the parade from the sidewalk so he decided to join me on my lap...my little love bug. xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
Finally after 2+ hours Santa Clause arrived on his sleigh from the North Pole. The boys had a really great time at the parade and until they get too old for the parade, I think we are going to make it an annual family tradition!!
