Christmas Tree, Lights and a Parade

The Big Guy and I got our Christmas tree this weekend.

It was a beautiful sunny day,

and we had a fantastic time.

 

 

We had a couple little helpers.

Thor and Loki always accompany us.

They get super excited as soon as we pull out of the driveway.

 

Thor told me he wanted to get dressed up,

so this year he wore his leather jacket and Loki

wore her little "I love Santa" dress.

 

 

While Todd went back up to the car

because dingbat here left the paperwork,

I tried to occupy myself by taking a selfie

of me with the dogs.  This is as good as it got.

They sure move around a lot!

 

It usually takes us about 45 minutes - 1 hour to find a tree.

This year, about 5 minutes. 

 

Bing, bang, boom!

Tree.

 

 

We tried to take a picture at the tree farm

with the beautiful mountains

in the background, but it just didn't happen.

I just wanted to post this picture because

I have a handsome man!

 

We finished our errand so quickly,

we decided to go out to pizza.

My parents met us, and after dinner we decided to

go back to their house and rest until the light parade started.

While we were at the pizza parlor some firemen

told us that the parade started at 6 PM.

So we had plenty of time to relax and watch some tv.

We left my parents at 5:30 PM

 

Right as we arrived back in town, we saw the last float drive by.

WHA?

 

 

There she goes, the very last float with Santa on it.

 

We were given the wrong information and only got to

semi enjoy the very end of the parade.

Boo for misinformation.

 

Because we missed everything,

we decided to walk around town and see

if anything was going on.

 

We did manage to see one other parade entry,

the "Corner Kitchen" van.

 

 

Here is the town Christmas tree.

It's pretty large, and apparently only half  lit.

Hmmmm.

 

 

We took a selfie because this was about as close as

we ended up getting to lights this evening

(see they're behind us).

 

After we decided we had seen enough and started to head home,

this pulled in front of us.

 

 

And with that, we had our own little light parade.

Huzzah.
