The real reason for the season

Amidst all of the Black Friday shopping, seeing Santa, all the presents under the tree we need to remember without Christ there would be no "Christ"mas.  I'm so happy, that even though Kaidrie looks SO forward to all those fun things she does know the real reason and talks about Jesus' Birthday. 
Last night before venturing the 1 1/2 hour drive back to our home we went to a parade with mimi and grandma that reminds us just that - there was no Santa to be found in this parade, just reminders of that day long ago..
Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus and their donkeys


Grandma Lu and the kids waiting in the cold.


And then it starts and Kason is barking at the horses... he's a little mixed up!


Brrr... the kids with their grandmas..


Cool camels


Lots of goats

They also had little angels, Christmas carols, horse and carriage, and of couse what parade would be complete with out some snowmen and candy!
