The next thing on our agenda was supposed to be a Christmas show in Indy. Unfortunately, we found out that no child under 3 was allowed since it was a theatre-style show! BOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! Poor Grace and I headed back to Bloomfield sulking in our misery.......alright I'm kidding although I was pretty disappointed. We found another Christmasy event to go to.......the Odon Christmas parade! Who knew! For as long as I lived in Bloomfield, I had never heard of it. This didn't quite work out as scheduled either. Laura and Brent looked on their website and it showed a parade start time of 6:30pm. So Mom and I get Grace in around 5 layers of clothing, and got her out of the car just in time for the parade TO BE OVER!!!! WHAT!!!! Yep, the start time was wrong on their website! I would like to share some words with the townsfolk there in Odon! :) Only kind, stern words.......come on people it's Christmas!
Luckily, there was still all kinds of fun to be had. Odon transformed their park into a winter wonderland complete with lights galore, Christmas trees of every color (Grace's favorite was the purple tree), live animals, and Santa of course! Most of the buildings in the park were transformed into a different Christmas theme. We walked into the building that housed the big man himself, and encountered a line you might see at King's Island! Most of you know that Grace isn't a real shy type of child, and definitely showed her colors that night! She wasn't about to wait in line to see Santa. She grabbed Grandma's hand and walked right up to him. Yes, I was the horrible mother in the background taking pictures and watching while Grace was completely ruining some little girl's moment with Santa! All she did was touch Santa's leg twice and she walked away! It was HYSTERICAL! I'm pretty sure we all had a little tinkle in our pants after that! 
The last stop in our Odon adventure was the new community building where cookies and hot chocolate were in store! We even got to listen to some local talent..........FABULOUS!!! :)
I would highly recommend the Odon Christmas parade......although next year we're hoping to actually make it to the parade!! :)
