Merry Christmas!!

Merry Christmas to all my blogger friends!

 

Thought I'd share a few  of our indoor decorations...

A little bit of my Christmas rabbit couple

behind Smiley Snowman.

The grandsons at the in-laws.

 

Santa Claus was very good this year. If the rain and thunderstorms could have been snow instead, would have been perfect...ha.

Take care,
Sheila

Frosty the Snowman...

Okay, here is the link for the second installment of our ride through the lights.

I love snowmen...

Our seesawing penguin and polar bear.

Close up of tree and presents.

There are bows on the tree, I'll

have to take a picture in the daylight so you

can see them.

Penguin and Polar bear.

That's the big red bow behind the rocking chair,

it was on the front door last year.

Oh, what fun it is to ride....

Jarin and I went throught the Festiv@l of Lights the Monday after Thanksgiving. I had her video as we went through. I have been trying off and on since then to make a video I could post. I first worked to take off the sound. Once I accomplished that I added music. Wouldn't post, so I changed the type of file so it would be smaller, still wouldn't post. I split it up in clips by Christmas song, still to big. So this is what I have now, small clips without music. As I get more of them ready I'll post them...

It might be a good thing because to watch the whole video you would need a little Dramamine to prevent motion sickness. Someone was a little fast moving from one side to the other... I won't name any names (see beginning of post) but I was driving...ha. :-D

Jarin says I can make a y0utube account and link the video from there...I'm still thinking on that one.

My brother Ronnie has a blog now...check him out!

Hope you enjoy the first installment... Take care, Sheila

Everyone loves a parade...

Here are a few pictures I took of the Christmas parade in Mocksville. It was mostly antique cars and tractors. I wanted to go to a small town parade and I enjoyed it. Jarin went with me. Of course, they threw out lots of candy. I gave most of what I picked up to the little girls in front of me. This was on the 17th of November, I think they had it earlier this year for some reason. Santa was at the end, he was walking and stopped at the intersection and was quickly surrounded by children. So I didn't get a picture of him. I'm used to him being on a float or firetruck at the end. I saw some pictures, the Saturday after Thanksgiving, of the Mount Airy Christmas parade. I think I'll try to go to it next year. I didn't hear anything about it until afterward or I might have went this year. Jack I knew you'd enjoy these cars...I have a few more that I didn't post this time.

This was a guy on one of the bikes with a large front wheel.

He drove in circles, I'm assuming because he didn't have brakes.

The little Food Lion truck.

This looked like it should have been pulled by horses.

Yes, there were horses in the parade...

and a high school band and all such as that.

No shriners on go carts though...

Oh yeah, and Daniel Boone and his parents lived in

the area...

Happy December,
Sheila
