One of the things that makes Silver City the attractive small town that it is is the annual Lighted Christmas parade. Being the coldest day of this season, naturally we dressed up and walked downtown to the big event with our thermos of hot cocoa. Nate, in about 6 layers was still shivering but he seemed to enjoy the show, with the exception of the Harley brigade, for which he buried his head in my jacket and said "scared". There were even fireworks this year, which Trey thoroughly enjoyed of course. These are some of the things I've missed the most around the Christmas season in Samoa. It's hard to get in the spirit in the tropics. That must be why they have to line up 300 plastic Santas and Christmas Poo Bears on the churches, to make sure that spirit gets spread to all.
Nothing like an over-sized down jacket to flatter the already voluminous features of a 9 month pregnant woman.

...and despite the extra layers, you still look beautiful! Nice to see you are all well in the cold.
