Getting Ready for Christmas

Putting up the tree! At Last! I made them wait until Nov 30th! They'd been begging since Nov 1st!!





What a picture! So pretty :-)


Waiting for SANTA CLAUS! Our little town's Christmas Parade, they hold it in early evening just after sundown, so the lights on the floats look all magical! I think its a French-Canadian tradition.

Yes, it's a little parade, but the kids love it!

scrambling for candy canes! Oh my - Looks more dangerous that it is! The cars / floats are stopped when they through the candy!


Hurry Up Santa!!
He's HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
