This is one of Debbie's favorite shots

 Ken's shot of something weird

 We bumped into a local motorcycle gang on the way home

Leaving is half the fun

The Capitol tree was lit that night for the first time.

 Even the Metro had its red lights flashing

 A new snack shop just opened, so we thought we would check it out.  Yogurt is good for you, right?

 Yumm, healthy.....

Wonder what's going to happen

We picked the shady side of the hour long Christmas parade so our feet would freeze.

 This guy had the coolest car, or at least the best decorated one.

Vehicles

 I know several folks that would love to see this under their tree this year

 Not such a strange combo in our town

 Shot from the Logan Cam

Mmm Candy

It seemed like everyone who was giving out free candy came to visit us.

 This is easier than Halloween, less walking

 Good thing he brough his back pack

 Just like in New York, the last vehicle contained Santa.
