Our Parade Float

New Year's Day brought the Rose Bowl Parade. And, I must say, the kids enjoyed this one waaaayyyy better than the Macey's Thanksgiving Day Parade. All floats and bands--perfect for little ones. They even had a float with dogs boogie boarding--it was pretty cool and funny too.

Being the creative girl that she is, Emily put together a float of her own! The sign that is on top of the cardboard box displayed the theme: "Welcome to Sesame Street." Emily chose this b/c she wanted Kari to enjoy it and she did it on our bed b/c it was the only space big enough for it all (and our sheets were getting washed so she had a clean slate to work with!). Big Bird had his own nest, Cookie Monster was eating carrots, the Count was in his swing, and Elmo, Grover, and Ernie sat up front in a little train. (We even have a Sesame Street table cloth that she set down as a covering.)

Christian and Kari thought it was just fantastic--and so did we! Way to go, Emily!
