Downtown Christmas Parade!

For the last few years, Brenham has hosted a "Downtown Christmas Parade" along with the Christmas Stroll. It has turned into quite a large event with almost fifty floats participating in the parade each year. St. Paul's Christian Day School has some floats in the parade each year as well. This was Kade's second year to participate in the parade and Brady's first year. The theme this year was "A Candyland Christmas." Christen Seeker, Kaden's mom, and myself were in charge of decorating the float for the Ocean Treasurer class. They were candycanes and peppermints. I was in chrarge of making the candycane archway. I think we did a pretty good job for just throwing this "trailer float" together in a few days. Brady rode on the Ocean Treasurer float with Kade, and he thought that was really neat. The weather definately fit the winter theme this year; the day before the parade we actually had a little bit of snow fall. On the night of the parade, we experienced freezing temperatures. Needless to say, we bundled up with our hats, gloves, coats, blankets, and a some good ole' hot chocolate before we took off on our float ride.
