Tons of Christmas Fun!

This year was the first annual Christmas Parade for our school district and the girls were so excited, because their Grandma is on the board of the local Chamber of Commerce and she invited them to ride on the float with her!

Santa made an appearance.

And I just thought y'all would like to see the horses, since some people have this idea that us Texans ride around on horses all day. Yee-haw! :D
There were quite a few people on the Chamber of Commerce float. It was all the children/grandchildren of the board members.
Here's Lily, sitting on Grandma's lap, then Kaylee in the middle and Madison on the right. They looked so cute.....they gave them blue Santa hats and white feather boas to wear. You know my girly girls were loving that!
It was pretty chilly and so foggy today, so I was hoping they were having a good time. I had dropped them off about an hour and a half before it started, so I wasn't sure, but when they made it to where Morgan and I were, you could tell they were having the best time! Madison saw us first, then Kaylee, and Lily was throwing candy and just smiling so big.

Here's a cute photo I caught of Kaylee's "parade wave." :)
Last night, Morgan heard lots of sirens and he asked me if it was supposed to be the night that Santa comes down the street. I hadn't seen any signs, so I wasn't sure. Every year, the local volunteer fire department rides up and down every neighborhood street in our area and they have Santa on top of the fire truck and throw candy and play music. It's SO neat!!!!

Well, sure enough, the sirens got really loud and it was because they were on our street. The girls had their PJ's on, so they threw on some shoes and we ran outside to see Santa. It was so foggy that you could barely see! Here's a picture of the fire truck lit up:

Here's the ambulance coming back up the street. They have about 3 emergency vehicles they drive, along with Santa on the fire truck. It was so foggy that all the moisture was getting on my camera lens :(
Here's a video of it......it's got lots of sirens, but I thought y'all would think it was neat. It really is so neat to see it go by and hear Santa and the music! I just love the area we live in now! It's like a small town feel. These little things they do just make Christmas so special for the kids. And now that they are doing the parade too, it will be something else to look forward to every year!

Oh, don't pay attention to me talking on this video either! I guess my voice gets really high when I get excited. LOL!

So, we had a fun weekend! We had a great message at church today too......I'll do a seperate post on it later. Hope you all had a great weekend too!
