Rose Parade!

On New Year's Eve, we left Grammie and Grandpa and drove back to Pasadena. At least that's what daddy told me- I was sleeping the whole time. Boppy and Grandad were having a dinner party before viewing the floats at midnight. I was too tired to join them that night, but daddy and I sang "So Long, Farewell" to the dinner guests and went to bed.

Mommy and daddy and I got up super early on New Year's Day and walked along Orange Grove Blvd, just a couple of blocks from Boppy's house. We got to see all the floats up really close- so close we could smell the beautiful flowers. We saw tigers, indians, roses, princesses, spaceships, dragons, chineese laterns, and, best of all, owls! It was very cool. Daddy made this great movie of me with some horses from the LA Sheriff's office that trotted by.

We made it back to Boppy's house to watch the real parade on TV, and then had a delightful and prolonged New Year's brunch while lots of guests came over for the Rose Bowl game. I even got to see Great Uncle and Aunt Ken and Joan as well as Uncle Steve. In the afternoon, daddy and Grandad walked to the game while I stayed with Boppy and mommy at the house. We watched the game on TV while playing with Emma- and daddy's team won again, 49-17! I so exhausted from all the day's activities that I went to bed super early and slept all night. I hope every New Year's Day is as good as my first one!
