Bville Christmas Parade 2011

Christmas has come and gone. And what a wonderful Christmas it was. We kicked off the family celebrations on December 17th with Casey's side of the family and then later in the evening attended the annual Bartlesville Christmas parade.

This year we got smart and parked a truck downtown on the parade route early in the day. So, we had a nice place to sit and snuggle in our blankets while we watched the parade.

The Colaw family stood next to the pickup and their girls shared an extra sack with Gabe so he could collect candy too because his mommy didn't think to bring him one!

Hmmm...that's not where those go.

Pre-parade snack.

The facial expressions here are priceless.

And, now you know why.

Now that's a cool ride.

Say Cheese!

And, the universal sign of the end of all parades.

Good time had by all. Afterwards, we took a drive through the Fantasy Land of Lights and capped off the evening with pizza at home while we watched the movie Elf.

More Christmas posts coming soon!
