Photos from the Goliad Christmas Parade...

~
Friday night and waiting on 7pm and the Christmas Parade.

Courthouse clock tower

He's tired but enjoying himself.

Ruben's first Christmas Parade...


Cheyanne and Michael trying to wait patiently for the parade...it took me a few tries to corral them for a photo...They were dancing and jumping in the street!



Goliad High School Band



Miss Goliad...
I love this little pony cart, just what I think Michael and I need!


We're country here and tractors in a parade are cool!


Our Pumper (fire) truck...
I'm such a recluse I didn't even know we had a new fire truck. It sure is shiny and pretty!



Mexican folk dancers...


A float from Sinton and one of our favorites, they did a great job!


Miss Victoria float...


Another tractor or two...


Another really nice float from Floresville...
It amazes me how well these small towns decorate their floats, love it!


Re-enactors from La Bahia (the fort) here in Goliad.


A surrey all decked out for Christmas.
I so miss Julie and I taking the carriage out at Christmas and the jingle bells. I told Fred I was going to harness her up and put jingle bells on her and just drive her down the driveway on foot...He thinks I'm nuts, lol...feeling a bit nostalgia I guess.


I love how they were all decked out, very nice!


Santa Burro, we all got a chuckle out of this!
Poor Burro looks a wee bit embarASSed...


Nice Appaloosa...


This is what Santa rode on?
After all those beautiful floats and here comes a mud truck with Santa. The kids were a bit disappointed and didn't even see Santa until we pointed him out.

It was a nice parade and we sat with most of the family to watch it. Glad it's only about 60 entry's as the kids had had enough and were bored, tired and ready to go...The perfect size parade for us...Merry Christmas Everyone. The season has officially begun for us!
