I have been a bad friend and worse blogger. November and December have been a blur as my job has taken off and so have the activities of the holiday season. One activity that has consumed a portion of my time was the Bowling Green Christmas Parade. I was asked a while back to be on the committee and had been going to meetings regularly to help plan and organize. This is the first year in some time that the Town had managed the parade. It is the first time in my lifetime that the parade has been in the evening. We had an overwhelming response. It was great!
Why am I telling you this? Well, Wendy (mom's neighbor and our good friend) and her sisters convinced me, Morgan, and Tyler to help make a church float. This is for the church we grew up in, and where Jared and I got married. They have not participated in recent years, and the church frankly could use some good advertising!
We took on the idea of a float. Morgan and I came up with the idea after Wendy told us she wanted us to do a "Reason for the Season" float. We decided to go with a Happy Birthday Jesus theme and to create a giant paper mache cake. Wow. We worked on it non stop for 3 weeks. We won second place overall and it looked really cute lit up at night. Here are some pics of it! This picture doesn't do it justice for when it was lit up at night. My friends have not posted their pics yet, and I did not want to delay posting any longer!
