Christmas Parade 2013

Since Kaylee joined the American Heritage Girls troop we have had many new opportunities and learning experiences. During Christmas, we went caroling at a retirement community and we were also in the county parade.

The girls were each given a blank cutout of a Christmas tree made out of foam. Our homework was to decorate the tree to carry/wear during the annual Christmas Parade. Kaylee was very excited because this was her first time in a parade.



Each girl started with a blank foam Christmas Tree. Kaylee decided to paint her tree green.

Before today she refused to use the hot glue gun.

Kaylee's Christmas tree is all ready for the parade!

It was a cold and windy day. All of us had rosy wind burned cheeks. But, Kaylee never complained. We waited an hour by our float for the parade to start. We had to be there early because they closed the roads close to parade starting time. The girls kept busy by decorating the tree that was part of our float. 


We had a quick picnic lunch before the parade. 

Kaylee is ready to go. 



Parade time!
