I Love A Parade

I love a parade, especially a Christmas parade!

On Friday we toured Main Street Bethlehem in Burnet Texas. On Saturday afternoon we returned for the Christmas parade. While we waited we wandered around the town square browsing the craft booths set up there.

We shopped some in a Christmas shop filled to bursting with treats, goodies and Christmas decorations.
Would you like to buy ornaments for your cowboy Christmas tree?

Or listen to some real good fiddlin ya'll.

The girls kicked and scuffed in the dirt and managed to meet a cowboy while they were at it.

It's almost time for the parade!

Finally! Toss some of that candy this way please!


We finished the night off by viewing a local Cedar Park home decorated with 75,000 lights synchronized to music that can be picked up by tuning your car radio to the correct frequency.

Then it was home for some rest. A good time was had by all.

  2. Oh Stevie - thanks so much for posting this. I don't know if you knew or not, but I'm a transplant to NY from San Angelo, Texas. Yep, lil' ole' San Angelo. I miss it so very much. They don't have Christmas Parades here, and it's been so very long since I've seen one. Thank you so much for these beautiful pictures!

  5. Now, I love me some good fiddlin'! Not to mention a good, old-fashioned Christmas parade! The lights are fabulous. We went looking the other night, but there wasn't much up this year. Your header is fabulous!

  6. Gosh, that looks like loads of holiday excitement. Those are excellent photos. Be careful you don't fall in love with Texas and move there. (I know we love west Texas!!) Thanks for sharing. ♥ ∞

  8. I love the Texas ornaments. I am sure I do not have anything cowboy related on my tree. I think I could move to Texas in a heartbeat. It would be quite a culture shock for this life long New Englander and I could use a change. Just a little venting!
    The parade looks like fun. I would love a few pieces of candy right now! Nice to see how other parts of the country celebrate!
