We haven't been to see the
Altus Christmas lights yet this year, but we've definitely begun to experience Christmas. The girls found their stockings filled on Dec. 6 (St Nicholas Day) and found some neat surprises in them (Maddie's favorite: an apple; Claire's favorite: books sent from Gramma). Later that morning we took the girls to see Santa at Phil's squadron's Christmas party. That evening Phil and I went to the grown-up's Christmas party and the girls got to play with a babysitter. Lots of fun, but we didn't take any pictures of us (of course).
Then this morning we packed up the family and headed downtown for the Altus Christmas parade. It was a beautiful day and there was quite a crowd. Claire and Maddie managed to score some candy, see a marching band, lots of floats, and some horses. And, of course, what's a Christmas parade without Santa? He brought up the end of the parade, riding high on a fire truck.

Whew! Almost makes up for the lack of shopping around here...

An Altus Christmas doesn't seem all that bad. We love the shots of the girls on the reindeer.
Where's the snow. We can send you some if you'd like!!! Cindy Bruno
