Jerry & Haddie all snuggly warm at the La Posada parade.
Jerry in his mohawk hat & with his light up sword that his Poppy bought him.
At least that is how the conversation started one morning on the way to school. "Santa is my friend. I yike Santa. He no bite." I guess, that in the toddler world, a true measure of friendship is not biting. We started the season off right-at least Kingsville style- first Saturday in December is breakfast with Santa and the La Posada night parade. We were the first ones at Linda's restaurant and had some private time with Santa. Jerry gave Santa a high five; and, Santa took his picture. But... when it came time to go talk to Santa- no one wanted to. Jerry tried to escape - Santa is holding him by his arm. And, Haddie kept trying to slide out of his lap.
Would you look at LOOK he is giving me! That evening we met Poppy & Meme and Harley & Taylor at the La Posada Parade. They changed the parade route this year so that it did not cross the railroad tracks twice - of course this year the train waited until the parade was over to come through town. We took our lawn chairs, blankets, warm cookies and hot chocolate. The kids had so much fun. They hardly sat down for the entire parade. The ladder truck from the Kingsville Fire Dept. is still a hot topic of discussion at our house. A few nights each week we have been driving around looking a Christmas lights. It is a very exciting event. Excited screams from the back seat include:
Breakfast With Santa 2007 - Jerry's first Christmas
2008 Santa at ESC2 - Haddie's first Christmas
Breakfast with Santa 2009
