Marion Christmas Parade

Last Saturday we headed to the local train depot to await Santa's arrival. Here he is getting off the train. This was a cool way to bring Santa in from the North Pole!

Season's Greetings from Santa.

The parade featured a great Grinch, which Hayes did NOT like. Thankfully the Grinch did not jump out of the car and run over to Hayes like he did to another child. Hayes was on a constant look out for the Grinch! The Grinch play will be held a couple days before Christmas for free at our local civic center.
Here comes Santa Claus. We all followed Santa up to the town square and attended a Christmas show in the Marion Cultural & Civic Center (our Peace Center). We sang Christmas carols and watched local dance teams, listened to the high school chorus and saw a performance by the Grinch.

We stopped at the town square after the Christmas show to see the nativity scene.
