This morning, here, like in many other towns and cities in Canada, there was a Remembrance Day parade. Eli was in the parade, too.
The girls and I went to the indoor ceremony, where the girls participated as wreath layers representing our school.
They were pretty impressed to see reserved seats with their names on them.
It was really nice to see youths taking the day seriously, and playing important roles in the ceremony. 
There girls really enjoyed watching the flags being marched to the front of the ceremony.
Eli arrived with the rest of the military members, and managed to find an empty chair right next to us, so Miss A took advantage and snuggled right in. Ceremonies can be long for little ones, but each year I find they are understanding more and more. This year, Miss G understood that it was "serious," and both were very well-behaved for the one-and-a-half-hour ceremony.
The girls came up with me to get the wreath.

Awesome...please tell the girls how proud we all are of them for doing such a very good job and doing it so well.....they look absolutely gorgeous as usual...luv you guys..xoxoox
I finally got to take Levi this year and he did a great job and understood most of it and was quiet when needed to be. We skipped the 1.5 hr indoor portion b/c that was NOT an option for staying quiet. It was raining and snowing furiously but he enjoyed seeing all march past :) I miss being on parade. Now I'm just one of the crowd :(
