Holiday Parade

Last night our family, along with Melody, Dawn, and their families, took in the Boerne Holiday Parade in, you guessed it, the rockin' town of Boerne. It was small town fun and great weather (a balmy 72 degrees). Lots of lights, animals, and candy to keep little ones entertained.

Dawn's handsome little man, Jackson, Melody's pretty angels, and my adorable Indians wait patiently for the parade to start. They were all so good and so EXCITED!

Totally classic faces from Melody's beauties and my Indian princess.

No parade is complete without a marching band (spoken like the true band geek I am). Boerne High School's band even competed in the state marching competition a few weeks ago. AND, there's just something about a band that has a female drum major (spoken like a former drum major). To quote my son, "Totally awesome, dude!"

Priya couldn't get enough of Dawn's cutie, Harrison. Sorry, Priya. This womb is closed for business.


Kinda grainy picture but you get the idea. A Texas parade isn't complete without the longhorn.

So, we waited in line to see Santa, and I start snappin' away while Animesh convinces Trevor to sit on Santa's lap. Then, the lady runnin' the show inside the gazebo informs me (rather nastily) that I can't take my own pictures unless I plan to BUY THEIRS! Oops. We high-tailed it outta there before she demanded I delete the shots I took.

And, you gotta read Maile's post about the Botox Santa. I cannot believe they hire these totally young guys to play the role. Too funny.
