Last Saturday was the Los Gatos Christmas Parade. Jiffy Dave got the Jiffy float out and Ryan did the usual crazy acrobatics over it while the rest of us got the crowd to cheer. Afterwards we posed for a group photo.

Then it was off to get our Christmas Tree. Ian and I went with Ryan, Jo and Big Ian up to the Santa Cruz Mountains to cut down two trees - one for us and one for them. Since we have higher ceilings in the new house we wanted a bigger tree. First we found the one for our house (it's hard to find tall Christmas Trees) and Ian carried it to our truck.

Then we found one for Jo and Ian. Ryan cut down the tree for them and then posed like a pro for me.

I love the smell of the mountains and, unlike last year, it wasn't raining this year. Now I just have to figure out how to keep Chip & Trooper from climbing it and breaking my ornaments.
