Day 73: Bright Star

Bright Star
12/3
I went to visit my dad in Floresville to help him decorate his Christmas tree. It seems it has become the tradition for me to be "the person" to decorate every Christmas tree for my family.....my mom's, my dad's and my grandparents...not to mention the store Christmas Tree at work. It is something I enjoy doing, but it can be a lot to do in my already busy schedule. Anyway...this evening there was a little parade for the lighting of downtown Floresville for Christmas, as city counsel man my Dad was asked to ride on a parade float. My brother and I watched and waited to see my dad while munching on Kettle popcorn. I had my camera with my and took a few photos of the activities of the evening. After the parade we had dinner at a Mexican restaurant and then went to the local tree farm, HEB, to pick out the tree. Getting the tree is always a surprise since we always have to buy it tied up. We never know really how big it is going to be! In this case it was really big....almost too big for my grandma's small house.  It was pretty funny and became the joke of the evening. This shot is of the star at the top of the tree. The final touch of the night.
