It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.....

We all gathered in downtown Umatilla, to watch the annual Christmas parade and our friend Terry who rode on the resort's float as one of the Gingerbread men.....

The first part of the parade is always the Humane Society with some of the "adopted" pets in their holiday best.....

This was my favorite.....

And of course we all love the little baton twirlers....there was a very large group this year.

Some of the beauty queens.....

Pearl and Pat.....the M&Ms lead the Olde Mill Stream float.

And here is our little Gingerbread house with all the "sweets". The girls did a great job again this year!!!! Oh yeah, Terry is the Gingerbread boy on the right!!!

These are the Rebel Rappers...They were so cute. They stopped right in front of us and did their entire routine. They held up the entire parade, but we loved it!

Oh yeah, put a bunch of seniors on tricycles and let them go wild.....



Oh...here is Smokey the Bear and one of the park rangers. Every year I sing the childhood song we learned in school and no one else seems to know it but Smokey and the rangers love it!! "Smokey the bear, Smokey the bear, a rowling and a growling and a sniffing in the air. He can spot a fire before it stars to flame....that's why they call him Smokey, that is how he got his name.....

The Leesburg queens. Leesburg is the little town we are moving to.

A couple of teenagers get into the spirit.

Another of my favorites......

And Santa with shades....

The latest update on little Greyson and his mom (Jada) and dad (Garrett). Garrett is serving in Afghanistan and was home for a few weeks R&R.
