Last year was the last year of the Minneapolis Holidazzle Parade. This year in it's place there is something called the Holidazzle Christmas Market.
The following is from Dale's blog:
"Joe is....a shopper which I most definitely am not. But I did go downtown with him today for the launch of the Minneapolis Marketplace, an outdoor, quasi-German themed Christmas market. It actually was pretty fun, and he could not get that silly grin off his face - he was so happy and in his element that I just had to capture it with a picture. For being so cold and having just finished snowing there were sure a lot of people there. The hot mulled wine was VERY popular. And seeing so many people we know and adore there made me happy and gave me a strong sense of connection to my community. And for all of this I am indeed thankful."
We had a blast walking around. We ran into Noel and her family. We also saw a few other old friends we hadn't seen in a while.
