Christmas Parade

Saturday we met the Sams (Kirsten, Billy and Reese) for lunch before heading to the Franklin Christmas Parade. Reese attends the same DayCare as Ella Catherine and is her best buddy. When we turn the corner for "school" everyday she begins chanting Reese and gets very excited. We have been trying to get together for a play date but illness has plagued both our families...Thanks DayCare!!! So, we thought Saturday and the Christmas Parade would be the perfect time to get together. It was so fun to watch the kids when they saw each other for the first time at the pizza cafe. They both had huge Cheshire cat grins and started saying each others name. We had them sitting across the table from each other and they kept waving and saying "hey". After lunch we headed to the parade route and enjoyed the Christmas Parade. It was Ella Catherine's 1st parade and she LOVED it! It was a cold, windy day but we all had a good time. She was exhausted when we left and fell asleep on the way home. Matt and I enjoyed getting to know Billy and Kirsten and look forward to more playdates in the future.
