This evening, we attended the Yuba City Christmas Stroll. This was the first year of the stroll that they added a children's parade and tree lighting ceremony - these were sweet and fun additions that I hope they keep.So, the night began with the parade where Gannon participated with his martial arts class. He was so honored and excited to represent wearing a "dragon head". He did an excellent job. It was fun to see that once that dragon head went on, Gannon was all business.
After the parade, we watched the mayor light the Christmas tree - fun and then we (or Gannon) experienced the highlight of the evening...we visited Santa! Gannon was awestruck, once again, and Mila DID NOT cry when they sat her on Santa's lap for a photo.
The vendors this year were spectacular!!! I loved seeing my friend Ginger with her wonderful treats for our Miss Mila, then saw Elka with her new and delicious Olive Oil business venture, and Della - beautiful items, as usual. We ended the night with dinner, but the best part of the night was seeing LOTS of friends that we haven't seen in some cases for years.
Again, back home and back to the basics... That's what it is all about.
