Today was the Rosebud Parade in Pasadena. It's a jr. version of the Rose Parade where kids can decorate their bikes, wagons, strollers, scooters, any wheeled vehicle, with flowers and ribbon and then march in a little parade up and down Lake Ave. We missed out on it last year so we were all happy we could go this year. Tabitha had a fabulous time and my only regret is that I didn't register Daisy as well and decorated her stroller. On the other hand, it worked out that I didn't because I stood on the sidelines with Daisy and was able to take pics and video as Tabitha went by. The Grand Marshalls were JoJo and Goliath from JoJo's Circus, but we didn't stand in line to meet them since it was ten times as long as when they visit Disney.

After the parade ended, we went in some of the shops to give the parking lot time to clear out so we wouldn't be stuck in traffic. I found some Santa hats with gingerbread on them at Gymboree. They even come in Tabitha's size so I may have to get them at some point. There was also a Talbot's Kids, which I didn't know existed. Nice but very pricey. Other than that, nothing too terribly interesting.

Now we're home and relaxing a bit before dinner. Chris is out actually, helping Santa with a certain gift.
