Christmas Parade

It seems like this lovely little town will use any excuse to have a parade!  Labor Day -- have a parade!  Homecoming -- have a parade!  I love it!

We went to see the "Parade of Lights" for the Christmas Season.  Main street was closed off and many, many people braved 25 degree weather to see the lights as they made their way down the street.  This was our first Christmas parade here.  It did not disappoint.

I was thrilled to have our whole family together for Thanksgiving.  After a month in California, Les drove home by way of Boise to pick up Andrew and to drop off his drums.  They hit heavy weather on the trek home from Idaho, but arrived safe & sound.

 DJ took a week of leave from the Army.  He and Andy spent quite a lot of time together.  It was so good to have my family around.  Our house is very little, so we could not offer them a bed, but they made the best of it in our recliners and on the floor.  No one complained
This little trailer drove up and down the street offering cookies and cocoa.



Only in Trinidad would you see a porta-potty in a parade and dressed up in Christmas lights!

Looks like your having a great time. I love home town parades. I'm glad the
boys were home for thanksgiving. We went to Andys home for thanksgiving. He's got a new girlfriend and she keeps him stright. She's a physiatrist. We in the family think he has finally met the ONE. She's wonderful. OMG 25 degrees it's getting cold here it got down to 30 degrees here in Fillmore the wind machines were going full force in the valley. We didn't put ours on and we did great. Well back to work stay healthy. Love Janis
