365: another year is about to end..traditions hold strong





Traditions are a beautiful thing...and this is ours! Camping, like vagrants, on the street of Pasadena every New Years Eve! We wouldn't have it any other way. The campout really started yesterday. Actually, there was no camping, just staking out, chalking, and securing our chalk {from our warm car steps away}. Thanks to Chanin for suffering through that first night with me. We made it fun with movies on the ipad and some hot cocoa..but I'm not going to lie, it was still cold! Monday, the gang all showed up. My husband is the packing genius. He got everything we needed on 1 dolly..even our new inflatable couch {which was quite the attention getter of this years parade}. We had a smaller group this year..just the Warrens, the Rheads, and us. The rest of the group came out New Years morning.  Yes, it is cold! Yes, it's camping! Yes, you have to use porta-potties! And Yes..it is totally worth!  Farewell 2012 and welcome a great 2013!!
