The Christmas parade did NOT disappoint!

There was fire...

 There was cousin loving...(L.O.V.E. Sam's face in this pic!)

 Elli even got to go!

 In true Jo form Charley waved to every person that went by!  She would not keep gloves on nor her hands under the blanket so with about 10 minutes to go she started saying "owwee" "owwee".  Chris took her and Elli (who was not a fan of all the sirens) home to warm up!

 The gang!  Laura had class and Danielle had cheer practice...and Cam decided that she would not be a Vintonite this year...something about a full time job and school ;)

My favorite part of the night was Sam wishing everyone in the parade a  "Merry Christmas" in the sweetest 3 year old voice ever!
