Our first stop was at Rock River Pizza where Tiz made an ornament. She could choose either a stocking, snowflake, or reindeer. She chose a blue stocking and had fun gluing on some hearts and buttons. We finished up there with a hot chocolate which turned out to be way too hot for her to drink, but she sure did have fun adding lots of marshmellows.
After leaving Rock River Pizza we headed over to Tribeca, Courtney's favorite place to hang out when Tiz is in school on Wednesdays. Tiz made a cute snowman there with lots of personal touches like feathers, ribbons, and googly eyes. John spent the time chatting with a man who's elevator didn't go all the way to the top, hardly made it up one floor, but John was patient and listened to the guy's stories over and over again. Tis the season to be tolerant of others, I guess
Our next stop was at the Horse and Carriage ride. Tiz really enjoyed the horses but didn't want to touch them or get too close. The ride was only a few blocks long but it was fun none the less.
After the ride we walked the six or so blocks up to the Market to see the electric trains. Unfortunately the trains were not running when we got there so we had Grandpa go get the car since Tiz's little legs were getting tired. Not sure why since this is where she spent most of her "walking" time.
After our fun afternoon we came home for a bit and got bundled up for the Christmas parade which was starting when it got dark.Tizita enjoyed some ice cream cake with mama and Auntie Lissy. She loves that cake as much as the rest of us. It is best eaten right out of the pan.
The parade was lots of fun. Tizita really enjoyed it, Alissa, not so much. We went to El Mariachi for dinner after the parade and we all couldn't stop talking about the great food we had there.
All in all a great end to the Thanksgiving weekend and a great beginning to the Christmas season.

Amen to the enjoyable weekend!
Watertown really did a bang-up job with their Christmas festivities and parade. It was fun to see so many people out enjoying the downtown. Nice work Watertown!
And, of course, El Mariachi was AMAZING! Best Mexican food EVER.
