Holiday by the River

After work on Friday night my parents picked up Kalyse so we could take Alayna to the Holiday by the River event in North Mankato which is held to benefit local charities. The event is free but people were encouraged to bring non-perishable items, unwrapped toys and/or clothes for various charities. We took a horse and trolley that went past a live nativity to the main event where there was music, food, games, pics with Santa and stuff for the kids. Alayna had fun playing instruments while listening to people sing on stage and then she sang Jingle Bells (one of her faves....actually ALL little kid's favorite song!). Then we ran back to the car-literally because we were so cold and hopped in just in time to see the fireworks show which was amazing! One of the best I have ever seen.

Fun times with dad

Alayna got a balloon animal from clown and her face painted

Enjoying the cookie she made.......

All bundled up to ride the horse and wagon
