11.28.2008 Keeping CHRIST in CHRISTmas Parade

Living in a small valley/town has it's benefits. For one, people openly celebrate CHRISTMAS for what it is. Celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ. We don't have a huge mass of atheists picketing or people trying to keep Christ out of our schools and our way of life. If they don't believe, they just don't make a fuss. It's laid back that way. We can have a parade celebrating Jesus and it is NORMAL. So that's exactly what they did the day after Thanksgiving. It wasn't a big or grand (or well lit, for that matter) parade, but the message was still there. It was so dark (and cold) i couldn't get any good pics of the parade...but it was family fun for all! DeRell and Bubba braving the cold...at least we had Hot Chocolate!

Danielle saw her friend Shawnee and sat with her to watch the parade.

A rare photo of Mommy and Bubba - the one taking the pics rarely gets pics taken with HER in them, so thanks Daddy for getting this shot.
