Christmas Parade

This past Saturday we celebrated Christmas in traditional, Southern-small-town fashion. We inhaled our share of diesel exhaust and lost a little hearing from sirens and horns.... and had lots of fun.

There were all the requisite entrants.
The grand marshal wearing blue jeans and ball cap:


Tractors:


Cloggers:

We also saw this really cute girl:



Tina's dance studio was in the parade and Tina decided she would like to participate and because I am a committed dance parent it was a nice day and I wanted to take the kids to a parade anyway, we rounded up and went. And we're glad we did.
