Christmas on the River

The first weekend in December, a group of us went to Christmas on the River in Demopolis, AL. During the day they have a flea market and parade. We got there mid-morning and did some shopping at the flea market and then got a good place to watch the parade.

The boys did not want to get their picture made!

After the parade we all ate mexican and got checked in the hotel. We had a party to celebrate a sweet little girl's birthday! Reagan turned 4 that day!

That afternoon we found our way to the banks of the Tombigbee River for Christmas on the River.

The kids all got swords that glowed in the dark, which kept them occupied until the parade started.

There were some really pretty floats....

an angel

a house and tree

This was a dragon made by putting several boat together. Flames came out of the dragon's mouth and his tail moved. It was really neat!

After the parade, we ate supper and went to bed. We were all so tired! Sunday morning we got up and ate breakfast at Cracker Barrell in Meridian and headed home. It was a fun trip!
