Lilac Parade time

Sunday was the Lilac Parade and the theme was Dr. Suess. The Indian Princesses Float was "Oh, the places you'll go" with Thing 1 and Thing 2 or Princesses 1 and 2.  They even gave us a shirt for Kaitlyn.  This is pre blue hair

 Hailey made this diorama for me at home - that is me.  Am I a monster high character?

And last but not least, my wonderful husband got us tickets to Motown the musical and a plan to stay overnight in the city in July.  Even planned the sleepover with Nana.  Very blessed!
