Here Comes Santa Claus!

This morning, my sorority sisters and I participated in the Northbrook Santa Claus Parade. We chose the theme of Christmas Around the World. For the past few weeks, we have been working on getting things ready for the float, and on Thursday we got the trailer all decorated. Thankfully, MaryAnn's husband got the garage all warmed up for us, so it was quite pleasant to get it done. This morning, we decorated the truck - it was a bit colder, but with all the help, it didn't take too long.

Dianne, Mary and Lynn painted the flags and signs last week; they look great. We did have such fun waving to the crowds - and the crowds especially like Dianne's Australian costume, a bikini. The 9 year old boys were the most vocal in their approval.

The parade was over by about 11:00 am, and while we were disassembling our float, apparently, the officials were looking for us inside. Because.....

We won Second Prize!
