Santa Claus Parade

No, not the really big one in Toronto. We sat that one out this year but we did catch the Ottawa Parade though. In fact, we did one better than that, we were IN the parade in our old home town!

Can you spot the eager float riders?

MOMENT: Friendly Festivities

We made an extra long weekend visit back to Ottawa to spend some quality time with some quality people. Some of this quality time was spent atop a float in the Santa Claus Parade with Tavish's buddy, Sofie who asked to be in the parade and her Daddy was able to make it happen. They were kind enough to invite our family along for the ride. So, amid the falling snow and cold, we were waving and well wishing just a few floats up from Santa himself! Such a great way to start off the Santa season. This was a highlight of our visit indeed but truthfully, just being reunited with some best buddies helped make things merry and bright for our whole family.
