Christmas Parade

 

We kicked off the Christmas season the same way we always do....at the Quincy Christmas Parade!

This has been a tradition for our family since Kamryn was a baby. I think we only missed one year and with good reason. Smith was born Tuesday morning, the parade was that Sunday, and we got hit with a Nor'easter. So needless to say, we decided to stay home that year. It's so cool to see how much our family has grown since then.

Here's a little throwback of Kam and me all those years ago.

And here's our crew this year....

Kamryn, Archer, Tenley, Logan, Smith, Parker and Kensington (& baby boy in Nicole's belly due this February!)

The McCaul family sure is a lot bigger than we ever imagined! Yes, I know, 6 of those kids are mine...but still!! :) If you told me 14 years later, we'd have 7 kids lined up, I'd never believe you.

We had a great day. The parade had lots of great floats and bands, and we even got to see the big man himself! Parker was too funny; she would've jumped in the parade if we let her! We finished off the day with pizza back at Pappi and GranDee's house. Thanks, Peege and Dee for a great day! 

And these pictures of Archie are too sweet not to share. It was chilly, to say the least, but Mr. Archer was toasty warm thanks to his little bear suit. He was his usual self and just hung out, took in all the excitement and even took a little nap in his stroller. He really is a dream and such a good baby!
