There are a few things that I really love about the town I live in and one of those things would most definitely be its small-town traditions.
Puyallup hosts a fair each fall, runs a farmer's market every weekend through the spring and summer months, and holds a Santa Parade each December through the old, "main street" part of town. Since Lia is now old enough to appreciate such things, we decided to brave the cold snap that the NW is currently experiencing and head downtown to watch the parade. From the vantage points of papa's shoulders and my lap, Lia thoroughly enjoyed witnessing the many
participants of her first Christmas parade from lit-up tractors to marching high school bands to
hordes and
hordes of
girl scouts. And, even though it was a toasty 37 degrees outside, we actually lasted an hour before throwing in the towel (or should I say scarf?) and heading home. The only problem with our early departure was missing Santa on the finale float. Oh well, there's always 2010!

Just a really silly picture of my little bug.

You look like a fashionista with your cute matching hat and scarf :)
