The Rose Bowl Parade and Happy New Year!

We brought in the new year by celebrating with the Vissers until 9 p.m. We figured it was midnight on the east coast and we were tired, so that was good enough for us!

On New Year's Day, the weather was absolutely beautiful, so we decided to go see at least part of the Rose Bowl Parade. We went near the end of it, so we didn't have to leave too early in the morning. We missed about 10 minutes of it. Emma just loved it and waved with Grammy when the floats went by. It is amazing how everything on every float was either flowers, seeds, or grasses. The colors were brilliant, the floats were huge and we had a great day. Even Max waved!
