Holiday Lights Parade

Went to the town's holiday light parade last night. It started at 6pm after dark and all the floats in the parade are decorated in Christmas lights. It was a very cold night, but was neat because it was snowing and made it seem really festive.

James was working with the police department to help close roads and direct traffic, so as his wife, I got to sneak in and park right in the middle of the road - no long walk for me! =D

Took Redders with me - had him in his fleece sweater. He did really well. Sat beside me while the parade passed, and amused people by trying to catch snowflakes as they fell =) His favorite part was when the reindeer walked by - he couldn't figure out what they were and wanted to go sniff them to bad!! Couldn't really care less about the horses or the band, but was very interested in the guys skiing down the road, LOL!

Then we walked down to the park through crowds of people and other dogs, and so many people commented on what a beautiful dog he is! He got lots of attention, and kids loved to pet him.

Didn't stay out too long because even though I was warm, my feet were frozen, and I figured his feet must be cold too. So we went back to the car and drove the whole mile or so home =) Then he laid in front of the fireplace for the rest of the night!

Here are some photos of the parade:
