We took Nigel to see Santa here yesterday. Sundance Square is an outdoor shopping/dining area a few blocks from Tim's work. Sarah was a little bummed that Nigel wouldn't get to see the Legendary Santa again (the same Santa she and her brothers grew up believing in), but this turned out to be great! It was outdoors, so there was plenty to distract Nigel. The line was short. And we prepped Nigel for about two weeks, telling him in great detail what was going to go down. Nigel sat on Santa's lap, told him his name and what he wanted for Christmas. There were no tears!

The day after Thanksgiving we went to the Fort Worth Parade of Lights. The parade started at 6 (dangerously close to Nigel's 7-ish bedtime), but we went anyway. We walked around downtown a bit and then settled into a spot. True to bad parade form, people showed up at the last minute and crowded us, but we still had a blast. Nigel got spooked by a firetruck of all things and we left before Santa came rolling by. There were lots of really cool lighted floats, but Sarah's favorite was our first Texas celebrity sighting: Joel Burns, of "It Gets Better" fame!
