Who Doesn't LOVE a Parade???

Pre-parade

 Sunday was the big parade and we had some girls who were VERY excited!  Great Nana and Don drove down and we got to spend the day with them as well!
The girls were poised and in position with their candy backpack when the parade started.  Little did they know they had their very own "candy patrol" waiting on the sidelines.  Anytime someone threw out candy that landed too far out in the street, you can bed Don was out there picking up every piece!  Awww!  Anna ended up on Nana's lap and ended up sneaking a few too many tootsie rolls!  But I'll have to say, I've never seen her sit that still in my entire life!  WAHAHA!!  The Apple Festival always puts on a good parade and this year they didn't disappoint.  The girls came home with a backpack FULL of candy (that I may have recycled to our neighbors for Halloween.......sorry neighbors!) and we got to see more folks that I wish we saw more often!

Waiting for the parade to start!  Apparently this was too much for Grace!

Cute!

After the parade, we had a little birthday party for Don back at Mom and Dad's house before they took off.  It was great seeing them again before they took off for Florida!

Sneakin' tootsie rolls!

The girls and I then headed out to the Townsend's so we could introduce them to Baby Reggie!  By this point, Grace was so tired she didn't even know her name.  She held Reggie but was pretty stiff and handed him off fairly quickly.  Anna didn't notice him at first.  But once she did, she kept giving him big smiles......and might have tried to give him a good slap on the head a time or two!  We spent a good, couple of hours getting baby snuggles and playtime with Jack before I had two girls who were ready to crash.
We had such a fun day full of a parade, CANDY, a birthday party, hellos and goodbyes to Great Nana and Don, and LOTS of cousin lovings!

Candy patrol!!

Happy Birthday, Don!

Someone needs a nap!

BUSTED!!!

First time holding Baby Reggie!

SO sweet!!
