Frosty Christmas Parade

Some highlights of our Christmas parade this weekend...it started as all of our parades begin, with the VFW leading the way and then the usual characters followed. They were making all of us laugh. The theme this year was Frosty the Snowman and it was certainly a frosty day, but we also had some beautiful blue skies to enjoy this year's Christmas parade.


This was the cutest little "gift" being pulled in her wagon...by a Christmas elf!


There was a "bag lady" walking around, handing out big grocery bags with coupons!




My parents riding in their 1950 Chevy, all decorated for the parade.









The boy scouts braving the cold.

My nephew with the boy scouts...he has on some Illini earmuffs!

    Good pics!! We missed out on Mattoon's parade, so we'll be going to Charleston this weekend for the parade, carriage rides, live reindeer, refreshments, live window displays, entertainment & photos with Santa. I think the boys will enjoy it! :)
