Best Santa Picture. Ever.

Christmas Time Is Here

The first Saturday in December is hands-down one of my favorite days of the year. Our family's Christmas kickoff day starts with a parade and ends with a decorated Christmas tree. Fun, eh?

 

Motorcycles are loud!

I think this delighted face was caused by about 100 dogs walking in the parade.

Santa! Mary Ellen was not excited about seeing the big man this year. In fact, she was fully against it. But when he drove past in the parade, waved and pointed right to her, she seemed to change her tune a bit.

Happy Day!

Mary Ellen loved helping to hang the ornaments this year. She loved that fluffy snowman!
