Let's start off with a parade!





















This morning went I went to get Jaymi, she greeted me with, "Mommy, come on up...I have a surprise to show you in my room!". She proceeded to show me a very detailed group of stuffed animals, all dressed up in costumes, an audience of Littlest Pet Shop animals and dolls, chairs set up, and two 'buildings' in the centre of the room, which the parade of stuffies was going around.
We had to sit in our designated chairs while we watched the stuffie parade. She put classical music on and we sat there and said, "Ooh, look at that funny costume the cat is wearing!"..."Aah, that caterpillar is wearing a wig!"..."Hey, I know that person...hi!"..."Wow, what a lovely parade!".
(The whole time of course, nothing is moving. We're just pretending it all.)

It was fun, diving into the imagination of a 5-yr-old for a while. She set the parade up later, downstairs, along the carpet runner of our main floor. We had to watch the parade again, of course.

It was amazing, the amount of set-up this must have required in the morning. There was a Garfield with a Christmas headband on, a car with a tutu around his neck, a lobster doctor, a cat with handcuffs on, a cat dressed as a tiger, three turtles dressed as firefighters in a fire truck, a caterpillar with a clown wig on, a Serta sheep dressed as a cat, a cat with braids, and many more! And the whole group was marching around a bank and a pet store.
