Conifer Christmas Parade... one year later

What a difference a year can make!  One year ago we attended the Conifer Christmas Parade as spectators.  We knew only a handful of people, and our girls had only just started school.  This year, we walked in the parade with 100 other members of The Journey Church.  Who would have imagined how much would have changed one year later.  Our float won first prize for creativity; we made a mock-up of a local Victorian home (the theme of the parade was Victorian) decorated as a ginger-bread house.  We also had our own Grinch - he didn't go with the theme, but we'd already reserved the costume before we decided what kind of float we would make.  He was a big hit with the kids in any case.  I was one of two designated photographers from our church, so here are a few shots of the parade and of our float.  We handed out flyers inviting everyone to our Candlelight Christmas Eve service.
