Our neighbor, Jami Martini, motivated us to be IN the parade. Usually Kyle and I would just opt to watch but our very FUN neighbor was on the ball, signed us all up and shared her hot glue gun to help decorate the kids' bikes. Kayla could not have been happier. She got to ride in the parade with two of her best friends, Priscilla and Annalise. Tanner was excited too and it turned out he was a great candy thrower. We attached a basket to his bike for candy and he stopped every few feet and threw out big handfuls. It was pretty coordinated for a little guy and so cute to see his little face intent on getting that candy to the curb!
Strand family in full regalia!

Kayla Sue - happy as a clam!!
I had to keep Tanner on track because he was forgetting to ride his bike - he just wanted to throw out candy!
