Willard’s Christmas Parade

The smaller the town, the bet­ter the parade is.  There’s just some­thing about know­ing so many peo­ple in a parade. You miss that in a big town. Sat­ur­day night we didn’t just go to a local parade. We went to watch fam­ily and friends show off and act like goofballs!

Of course, hav­ing a float con­test involved up’s the ante on the fun.

The kids had a blast!

It’s funny how quiet and rev­er­ent the crowd got when these guys showed up.

Peo­ple got pretty creative.

This was my favorite. They were rep­re­sent­ing Lit­tle House on the Prairie and the Home­stead­ers.
It was a HOUSE on a flatbed. Super cool!

Love, love this shot with the sun behind the flag!

Santa

Of course, he’s the rea­son we all came any­way, right?

That-is-Santa

Poor Grem­lin had been stress­ing for an hour over whether he wanted
to believe Santa was real or not.  Can you guess what he decided?!
