Coopersville Christmas Parade

Every year we go to the Christmas parade in town. It is usually bitter cold. We were so thankful that this year it was pleasant out and not unbearable. Olivia's Girl Scout Troop had a float in the parade! It was so fun! While waiting they danced around on the trailer and ate donuts and drank chocolate milk. Scott, Ethan and Nana stopped by the float to say hi before heading down to Main Street to see the reindeer. Myself and a few other moms walked along the side of the float. Main Street was absolutely packed! The girls did a fantastic job waving and smiling as they looked for their friends and family in the crowds. Ethan saw Santa as he was walking back home with Nana and Daddy! Santa called out "Well, who do we have here?" and Ethan was so surprised he hid his face in Scott's coat - not hearing Nana say his name was Ethan. Ethan came out of hiding and was shocked when Santa told him to have a Merry Christmas by name!! The Girl Scout troop's float won 1st place!!
