LOVE to listen to these! Sometimes we'll hear them practicing on the city streets, sometimes at wedding receptions, always at parades!

ReplyDeleteWOW....looks like you have been busy. Happy faces, great fun and the weather played pretty! Merriest Christmas to you.
ReplyDeleteLooks like everyone had a great time at the parade. And now that it's winter, it feels like spring in Columbia! I am not complaining. We finished up our grocery shopping for the Christmas meals last night too! I'm baking today and tomorrow night we will have a Christmas Eve buffet! Merry Christmas to you! xoxo
