Today was our town's Christmas parade. They always have it on a Sunday afternoon. Where I grew up the Christmas parade was usually either a Monday or Tuesday night, so it's kinda weird having it during the day. Our church always does a float. The past two years Abby has been "Mary", but this year she didn't have a specific role, so she got to ride on the float with Lilly and myself. Hallie was an angel along with Emma and Callie. It was COLD!!! But, it wouldn't be right if it were warm. Christmas and Christmas parades are supposed to be cold..... sorry Jennifer and all you heat loving Texans! :) We were bundled up with our layered clothing, gloves, hats, etc. It was fun, and the girls had a good time waving to everyone and saying "Merry Christmas!". However, Lilly grew weary of telling people Merry Christmas. Toward the end of the parade when I would tell her to say Merry Christmas she would say in a very loud and frustrated tone, "I don't want to tell those people Merry Christmas ANYMORE!". What a grinch!
Mary, Joseph, baby Jesus, and the Angels hanging out in the back of a pickup truck!
A trio of angels. Really.

Lilly having a good time.
Three wise men. One of them look familiar? And their gifts.... "finkinstinch" (how Hallie used to say frankenscence), myrrh, and a spray painted brick.
And no Christmas parade is complete without Santa and Mrs. Claus. Nice ride, Santa!
