Yes, Greensburg, there really is a Santa Claus in the Holiday Parade That They Won't Call Christmas But It's Obvious That It's Really A Christmas Parade. 

Can you say cold? It was freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezing cold today. Benjy wouldn't take his coat off. And I was the proud mom who thought her son had sense beyond measure. (LL, you son had sense, too. At least the older one did. He kept his coat on, too. Smart ones, our boys. No Jimmies there.)

Camden got to help carry the banner with the scouts. Eaglescout himself wasn't here. Poor sweet Emma had to go to the ER vet!!! Her little beagle ears had swollen up to two to three times their usual thickness. Bless her puppy heart, she seemed fine, but the ear thing scared us. The ER vets in Monroeville said it's likely an allergic reaction and gave her some meds to help. She had been scratching herself like crazy for the past week, so maybe something in Virginia got under her skin. At any rate, Eaglescout and Emma were warm and cozy while the rest of us were showing our true dedication to our respective groups. Go us.

And for you llama lovers out there. Here's a lovely llama shot just for you. He didn't spit on me one single time. Even when I tried to climb into his fuzzy soft coat to warm up a bit.
