The Winter Carnival Parade

Yesterday was a perfect day for a parade. Matti actually lasted for almost an hour. This is about 59 minutes longer than the other parades we have been at where we have had to make quick exits after gun salutes. Ella just slept the whole time.

Daddy and Matti pants. She could see better from his shoulders but the people walking and handing things out didn't see her very often because she was too high up

Had to take a picture of the gnomes in honor of our resident gnome, Ella


Mommy and Ella



Matti getting vulcanized by an official vulcan. She spent a lot of time looking in
the mirror at the "V" on her nose after we got home.

We went down to celebrate Grandma's 60th birthday with her
