Rolesville Christmas Parade

On Sunday afternoon, we braved the 30 mph winds (on top of 40 degree temperatures... i think the windchill was in the low 30s or upper 20s) to watch the rolesville parade. kendal LOVED it. well, i'm honestly not sure whether he liked being outside or the parade itself. he always has loved cold air. not to worry, though, i had him bundled up well... (the wind was blowing into our backs, and the sun was in our eyes!) here is the only picture that i'm in... i suppose since i always hold the camera, it is hard to get in photos myself. funny story real quick, though. i have 2 of my grandma's coats. they are both large (they were large on me when i got them)... and so i picked this blue one to wear to the parade because it had a hood on it. it is a really nice coat, thick - lined with fleece - very warm... when it is zipped up. i didn't try it on before we left, i just threw it in the car (since naturally i was hot in our house). got to rolesville, parked, got out of the car, put on the coat and... there was about a 3 inch gap in the front which meant i couldn't zip it up. yea. my belly IS that big! he loves my sunglasses. this was the first time he let me put them on him. here are a couple of videos of parts kendal really liked... which was the wakeforest rolesville marching band, and then he really liked the sirens of the fire trucks/emt vehicles. kate, the hat and gloves came from old navy. i got him a (toddler) large - i can put it on my head but it is a little tight. i'm figuring it is for a 5 or 6 year old. kendal has a big noggin... but, he loves the hat. sometimes i'll put it on him in the morning and he'll wear it half the day. makes his hair look funny and flat, though. for the parade, he wore the gloves without complaint. after the parade when i put kendal in the car, it felt like a heater being pulled out of the mass of blankets and stroller. he wasnt' cold at all - even his cheeks weren't cold! he fussed twice when we were out, and after i pulled him out of the stroller... he may have been hot! i'm just glad i finally finally finally found a hat he'll wear!
