Isabelle said this yesterday morning when we reminded her that the Santa Claus parade was coming up this weekend. No need to miss him anymore, Belle, he is back and ready for the holiday season. She even spotted him twice today, once in the Rideau Centre when she saw him heading to his chair (he stopped to wave to her and give her a candy cane, which she ate immediately!), then again tonight in a more formal setting, the Santa Claus parade under the lights at Parliament Hill. Of course, the weather always gets cold the weekend Santa comes to town, and this year was no exception. A wicked north wind was blowing, but it didn't dampen the spirits of Isabelle, Oliver, Logan, Kaitlyn and Brooklyn, who braved the temperatures, sampled candy canes and waited patiently for the jolly old elf to make his appearance. Oliver was slow to warm up to the action (no pun intended), but once he saw horses and fire engines, he realized this was actually a pretty good time. Aside from Santa himself, he seemed most excited to see the Sens mascot, not because he loves hockey, but because it was a lion, which gave Oliver the chance to show off his "roar" sound effect. Finally, Saint Nick was coming down the street, waving to all his adoring fans, and these kids were no exception. They were beyond thrilled to see him, and Isabelle was so sure he looked right at her! She's doing her best to stay on the Nice List, thank heavens for Santa's help during those times when she starts to stray!
Check it out, I snagged a candy cane!
Hooray for Canada Post, the answer to all your holiday shipping needs!
Waiting for the star of the show. Brooklyn thinks she sees him!
The man of the hour
Worn out from all the excitement
