Last Friday was the annual Seal Beach Christmas Parade. It's a funny marker for us because it feels like we JUST went to this, but I guess it was a year ago. They advertised it as the largest parade they'd put on yet, and it was looooooong (but didn't feel as long as last year's, which must have had at least 10,000 Boy and Girl Scouts).We've been kind of sick at our house, no Swine Flu or anything like that, but Ryan stayed home from work that day because they poisoned him the night before with their "dinner;" and Gwen's had a cold, and gave herself a little black eye on our ottoman. (I'm trying to explain why my family looks a little off in these pictures, haha.)
The parade was complete with elves playing baritones, the Volunteer Clowns of Orange County, Kazoo Marching Band, firetrucks, Navy boats, dog walkers, dogs who read, the Sunset Assisted Living Community short-bus...you name it, we saw it and clapped for them.
And I wanted to note that this is the first time that I've ever gone out early in the day to set out chairs and claim a spot - people mocked me, but nobody was complaining when we had AWESOME seats for EVERYONE thanks to me (and Gwen who helped move them out of the garage, into the wagon, and drop them off that morning).

from Lorena:
my favorite part of this post is Gentry's face in that last pic.
Gwen doesn't look like a baby anymore! What's up with that?
p.s. I love her frowny face in the sledding post. Why are pics of kids pouting/crying so funny?
You AND Jen have blogs? This is good stuff. Love it!
