No one does New Years like Philadelphia!! The Mummers Parade is the oldest folk parade in the nation. I marched in the string band division for 20 years before starting a family. Now I take great pleasure in sharing the experience with my kids. This year was unseasonably warm so we got a chance to roam the street and say hi to some old friends without being uncomfortable.

I used:
Anna Aspnes:
Lable Transfers #2
ArtPlay Santa Nicholas Kit
Kitty Designs:
Countdown to Midnight Kit

If you've never seen the parade and have no idea what a mummer is you can watch this year's winning string band performance here:
