We love going to the Santa parade in downtown Rockford! We have gone most of the last 4 years. It is usually cold, but what a fun way to get into the spirit of Christmas!
While we were waiting for it to start I decided the kids looked so cute all bundled up in their snow gear I had to get some pictures of them.
And of course some with us too.
The parade last about 30 minutes. We get to see lots of cute kids from various boy scouts, girl scouts, sports clubs, etc in addition to police/fire, a few companies and businesses, and of course, Santa! All of the "groups" have most of their kids walk the route passing out candy. Most of the time we get candy for 2-4 people from the same group. The amount of candy the kids got is amazing! I think it is almost, if not more than, as much as they got on Halloween!
It is a lot of fun to tell a bunch of strangers Merry Christmas. this year we hadn't gotten much "Christmas" stuff done yet, so this parade was kinda the thing that put me in the Christmas spirit. :-)
