Parade marquee in front of Bel Air Town HallYou missed it didn't you?

Well, we didn't.

-the tourney where her team kicked butt in several games throughout Friday and Saturday.

-the tourney that took place in a nice, toasty gym.

But, I digress...

So, Syd marched and the family supported and...

To Recap--

  • This was the 19th annual Bel Air Christmas Parade and The Sydster was scheduled to march.
  • Last year's parade was cancelled because of the weather (frigid cold, ice, sleet, general nastiness)
  • This year's parade was not cancelled.
  • It was cold as a snowman's nose out there.
  • Half of the poor souls who braved the weather left before Santa & Mrs. Claus even arrived to signal the end of the parade!
  • I think they all snuck off to the hot chocolate spot.**
  • This year's parade should have been cancelled.

**Most were probably muttering under their breath, "How low can it go?! Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr"

Did I mention that it was cold?
