Last Christmas we discovered the Carefree Festival of Lights and had a great day. The parade is gorgeous, food and snow is fun, and they have a beautiful fireworks display. We really enjoyed our selves a lot. This year, our church small-group proposed building a float for the parade and we jumped at the chance to help!
We spent a good portion of the afternoon assembling the lights and float. The kids decorated shirts with glow-in-the dark paint. I think we were very festive.
Aaron and I both missed participating in the festival: eating the fair food, seeing the decorations, walking around town. But Elayna had a GREAT time on the float. She is a performer and she loved waving to by-standers and shouting ‘Merry Christmas’! She had a blast and that made all the hard work worthwhile.
