This is the outside of the square in "downtown" Charleston where we went for the Christmas parade.
They gave the boys a balloon which they let go of after playing with it for approximately 3 minutes...
then they got another balloon which was also lost 5 minutes later. The parade included Santa and a real reindeer! (but the reindeer was lame so that was kind of sad.) The highlight for the boys though was the Firetruck and Elmo and Cookie Monster. It was so bitterly cold that the kids started crying about 5 minutes after the parade was finished so we didn't get to enjoy much else. But they had free cocoa and roasted chestnuts- which we had for the first time! They are really big and sweet- they were like nothing else I had tried before. They also had Santa there, but the line was so ridiculously long that it came outside of the courthouse and the kids were cold and crying...so we had to leave. But once we got to grandma's we turned on the fireplace and enjoyed the full use of our fingers again!
