Children Giving to Children Parade

Every year Austin has a Children Giving to Children's Parade. We went last year and decided to make it a family tradition. This year put us (a bit) to the test on tradition. It was cold and raining, although the rain pretty much let up by the time we got there.
We want Tyler to know how important it is to give to others and that there are many children that do not have what he has. The message is important but, the parade is fun so double win.
An exciting addition was Nanny and cousin Kennedy came up for the parade. We got there early anticipating the crowd of last year, but the weather seems to have kept some families away. Sad for the donations,but they did seem to get a HUGE amount of toys. As you can tell we were all dressed for weather and everyone was a trooper! We also got a great spot. Kennedy donated her gift and so did Tyler.
Tyler really enjoyed it! He clapped and danced and really liked seeing Santa. His newest thing is pointing to things and saying 'this?' wanting to know what things are. We would hear him giggling to himself about things I assume he liked.
It was a lot of fun!
