Light Parade

Every year the light parade is held the Saturday after Thanksgiving, over the years we have made that one of our many holiday family traditions. It is always a lot of fun to kick of the Christmas season. We even got a little bit of snow, which always seems to make it feel more like Christmas.

This year The Holmes family, the Garcia's and the Landheer's all joined us. We had such a wonderful time and great afternoon and evening. It started here at my hose where I made a big pot of chili & corn bread and Nana (Nancy) made chicken enchilada casserole. It was a nice and quick dinner with everyone then we were off to the parade. All the kids and a few of the adults rode on top of the fire truck in the parade, while us others watched and drank hot coco & coffee. After the parade we went & looked at the Worlds Largest Gingerbread House display, then went to Cocos for warm drinks & dessert. It was such a wonderful day.

We really enjoyed hanging out and spending time with everyone. Thank you all for coming up. I'm already looking forward to next year.

Looking at the gingerbread houses, she liked the train that went around them the best. =)
