It was a blast. And slightly (and at times, VERY) chaotic. But... seeing as how "boring" is overrated, I'll take "chaotic" anytime. I was also on crutches and unable to help corral the little ones, so that didn't help the chaos at all. But nonetheless, it was a blast!
Below are a few pics of our very fun adventure!
We started the morning off at Denny's, for a delicious pancake breakfast. Here's the gang from left going clockwise: Elliot, Mom, Kinlee, Jasper, Andrew, Dad, and Brogan.
After the "Grand Slam" (aka pancakes, bacon, sausage, hashbrowns, eggs, and coffee) for the adults and ketchup and chocolate milk for Jasper (his choice, not mine), we headed out and went to the parade.
Jasper's playing peek-a-boo with his cousins while waiting for the parade to start.

Nana and the little ones, watching the parade.
The gang, minus Andrew, after the parade.
Jasper and I, laughing at Brogan's cute antics.
After the "Grandparent's Christmas", A, J, and I headed back south to Cbus and stopped at Matcha on our way home. Matcha is a very, very cool fro-yo (aka frozen yogurt) and bubble tea place. We'd never been before, but after visiting it for the first time on Sat, it completely stole our hearts. We will be back.
Our yummy and very fruity fro-yo topped with jumping beans. Yep. Awesome.
Jasper l.o.v.e.d. it!
My 2 handsome, handsome guys.
Matcha has a neat kids' corner and Jasper really enjoyed playing with the chalk. He didn't draw with the chalk, but he spent considerable time moving all the chalk into just 1 area, instead of having them evenly split between the 2 chalk boards.
I'm thinking engineering might be in his future (that, or a mad scientist. Both good.).
And finally, Jasper "sharing" my bubble tea with me on the way home.
I'm blessed, indeed!
