Last Saturday, the boys and I bundled up to head downtown and watch the annual parade. Gary was there too, though quite busy, working with his camera crew and anchors to air it on TV for those watching the parade from home.
We knew that there would be some candy thrown at us, so Gordon grabbed this paper bag. The weather was festive, with snowfall and a chilly breeze. Gordon soon realized why I'd urged him not to leave his gloves in the Tahoe.

Gordon's main objective was to watch for parade participants who were handing out treats.
Here's Grayson holding a couple of Smarties from his loot. We ended up with an abundant supply of little candy canes.
I didn't take many photos of the parade itself, but did snap this picture of the Boise mayor riding by with the Statehouse and Christmas tree behind him. After a couple years of an alternate route during renovations going on in the Capitol building, it was nice to have the parade back to its traditional route.
Smiles.
Cuddled up, staying warm.
Gary took a little break from filming to say hello and be in this picture.
Melissa was out running errands during the parade, but she joined us for the very end of it...and then we walked over to Chicago Connection for some delicious pizza lunch.
After he was done working, Gary joined us later for lunch as well.
We had a nice time, taking in this Boise tradition together - one of many great ways to kick off the festive Christmas season!
