Today we went off to the Santa Parade. We found out that there were 150 floats from Alexia's ranger leader who was marshalling. There were a few gaps and a bit of waiting between some of them but it was great. Thought we were going to get rained on but it held off. This year I took lots of photos of all the "old" floats that were around from when I was a kid and will do them in some sort of nostalgia type of scrapbook page. Theres been criticism over the years about all the cultural groups that take part but it certainly adds to the colour of the parade and its really nice that they all get behind it. Both girls recognised friends in the parade from Japan, China and Korea. Aarons friend and neighbour, Megan was also on a float and although we waved madly don't think she saw us.This is one of the "oldies" and one of the "newbies" (Aarons favourite).
Just a wee note about our white tree - its only the second year we have had it and I'm still a bit iffy over it being white. We had a big green one which finally died (if thats possible with an artificial one) and were without a big tree for a couple of years. Got this one on sale last year for $50. The only thing I don't like is that the white and clear decorations get lost on it and so they have been moved onto the green one. The kids like it and even Aaron thinks it looks pretty!
Now off to finish my Christmas pudding decoration thanks to Tanya on the SE Consultants blog.
