St. Patrick's Day Parade!

On Saturday, we went down to Naperville for the St. Patrick's Day Parade. We got all bundled up and walked downtown from Aunt Theresa's house. Here are all the kids ready for the ride (we were like our own little parade walking down there).

Juliette was quite cozy in her little spot between Ben and Caroline...

We waited for a while for it to start...we were apparently at the end of the parade route!

Aunt Domi shows Juliette what's coming...

Andrew held Abbey for quite a while...

Juliette was a trooper in the cold weather...as long as she had her lollipop!

Brother Bear was at the parade!

Abbey was pretty good at picking up all the candy that was thrown...

Unfortunately, as the parade went on, it seemed to get progressively colder. Aunt Theresa wrapped Juliette up in a blanket, we got the kids some hot chocolate, and I took Abbey inside a store for a short bit to warm up. She was literally shaking from the cold and as I walked away with her, she asked me why we were leaving and when she could go get more candy! I guess the cold wasn't bothering her as much as I thought!

Enjoying the parade (but getting very cold)...

It was a fun time though!
