Boat Parade?

Yep, last night we went to a boat parade -- boats festooned with Christmas lights trawling up the Willamette River. We went to the Milwaukie waterfront to enjoy a huge bonfire, Christmas carols, and other attractions, including this spectacular fire truck.


You might not notice it from Elizabeth's expression, but she is holding food in her mouth. It's a new thing with her. She likes to hold food for a long time in her mouth. Usually it results in her spitting the food out, but sometimes she'll swallow it. It's pretty funny because while she is storing the food she won't say a word no matter how much you try to get her to talk.

She's really enjoying the Christmas season. And tonight we go to a party!
