Once again, we rode the ponies in the Christmas parade. They were both really good and we had a great time! Lots of our friends were riding too, some of them 4H friends, some of them just horsey friends. These pictures are horrible. I guess I should learn what setting on the camera to use for night time! But I'm grateful to Ted for taking them regardless.

| This is Grinch's 2nd year in this parade. He was a very good boy! (A little figity, but nothing too naughty.) It is Cindy's...um...can't count. We started taking her when ClaireAnna was just 5 years old and I walked along side. She's been in many, Christmas parades and other parades as well. Her behavior is always excellent. |

| Dayna rode double with ClaireAnna on Cindy. |
 |
| We tacked up and decorated the horses at home, then trailered them to the assigned location for the parade. Then we mount up and wait for what seems like hours (actually, almost 2 hours) for the horses to move out. Horses are always last, just before the fire trucks and Santa, so that people walking/ marching in the parade don't have to step in the horse pooh! |

| Notice the reindeer antlers! |
 |
| ClaireAnna and I made her a sweater for a tacky Christmas sweater contest at youth group. She didn't win because everyone said her sweater was too cute! So she wore it for the parade and sure enough, a total stranger in the "audience" shouted to her, "I love your swearter!" It is now the designated "parade sweater." |
