Today was Harrisburg's Holiday Parade. Jeff and I, the kids and my parents all went down to it. It was a chilly day and we bundled up for the parade. The kids really enjoyed it (although Joost doesn't look like it in the picture below--he was a little overwhelmed by the crowds at first and unsure whether or not his red balloon was going to blow away into the sky).
There were a lot of highschool bands from all over the state--but our favorite was Harrisburg High with their drum section who could dance and play at the same time. I should have captured it on film, but it wouldn't have done them justice.
It was also great to see all the armed forces that marched in the parade--many vets and reserve, but also some troops that just returned from Iraq, Afghanistan, Bosnia, and Kosovo. We are grateful for all those men and women who have served now and in years past.
We all had a good time and it put us in the mood for the holidays. May our Thanks-
givings be one of gratitude as we look to Him who has blessed us more than we deserve.
