Grand Illumination Parade

Front row seats to our first Norfolk Grand Illumination Parade, compliments of Brad and Elizabeth who went early and claimed prime seats on the curb! Thanks guys!!
We were on Granby down the street from Kelly's Backstage Tavern. Here Lily is with her friends Kira, Chase and Lorelei.

As you may know the parade is the kickoff for the holiday season here in Hampton Roads and the countdown of turning on the lights that outline the city's buildings. There were many local businesses that decorated floats, high school and college bands as well as dance studios in the hour long parade down Granby street. As the parade got started I texted Trish to see if Leah was in the parade with her dance studio and not long after here came Trish walking down the middle of Granby as a chaperone with the girls in their nutcracker costumes...but no Leah :(. It was a wonderful surprise!
We had a wonderful time and this quickly became a tradition we would like to continue, especially with two little girls :). Next year, there will be four of us!!
