Merry Christmas
The snow melted; the warmer weather earlier in the week turned cold once more.
Presents 'neath the tree.
The not-so-little people arrived with their parents.

Relaxing, playing games, after dinner.
And, let the unwrapping begin!
Ellie with her Doc McStuffins outfit.
Grandpa got a set of Craftsman snacks from Santa!
Will he share?
Examining the drive-way monitor.
Will it announce a car entering the drive?
After the presents were opened, the big kids played the Cheese Touch board game
while Miss El explored her 'Frozen' art supply.
Merry Christmas!

I am thinking of you...
I
am thinking
of you today
because it is Christmas
and I wish
you happiness and
tomorrow because it
will be the day after
Christmas,
I shall still wish
you happiness and so
on clear through the
year.
Henry van Dyke

Lebanon Horse Carriage Parade
About 5 1/2 inches of snow fell overnight.
The deer played in the newly fallen snow.
We stood on the back side of the carriage parade route,
at the intersection of Cherry and Main Streets
to watch the 25th anniversary of Lebanon Chamber's
Horse Drawn Carriage Parade.
The sun was shining, but the temperatures were in the low-twenties.
In spite of the chilly temperatures,
many people were out to watch the parade.
The first carriage.
Some carriages were decorated in silver and white
in celebration of the 25th anniversary.
One of several carriages pulled by miniature horses.
The Grinch.
And who is that riding with him?
Slim and Sally with Mr. VanGordon.
A new entry this year.
A jail carriage with the Grinch on the inside!
The beautiful Clydesdales round the corner.
Last by not least, the horse drawn fire engine.
Normally, there are close to 125 carriages.
Because of the weather, fewer carriages participated.
