Yep! I think that might be the same one I have.

 

This gives us the POWER to beat the Jeeps!!! Get it? Power!!!

 

I crack me up

 

It will actually be useful for other stuff too

We have a few weeks to brainstorm our costumes for the parade. It's going to be nuts trying to organize but I think we can pull together and do it

 

First pick a Christmas Character and update your RSVP with the name of your character. I just did that for River

 

Then we can chat here about how to pull that off.

 

I'm planning to use a bunch of white polyester batting to make her look all snowy, then add poster board eyes and teeth and icicle lights around the top.

I see a gathering time at P-Tuning and heading to Parade time. What time do we need to be in the gathering parking lot to get ready?

 

If we have "pieces/panels built", can we take them to P-Tuning the friday night before to store them?

I'll talk to Mike at PTuning about it

 

I'm going to the mandatory parade meeting on Thursday, at that point I find out where we are positioned and will have an idea of staging

So as cute as the Holly Berry idea is for a name, I don't think people will get it. I would like to be a Christmas Tree for the parade.

 

That works!!! Lights, Garland a big star on top

last year we all got together and made crackers for the parade. This year it might be nice to all get together and work on our costumes. To do this we need a place. My townhouse parking lot would be stretched to house 8 - 10 MINIs but we can use it if there's nothing better. I also own sewing machines if people need them.

 

Would you guys be interested in doing this? Maybe the afternoon of 11/29?

 

Ideas?!!

Let us know that would be great!!!

 

Ok, we can host the prep for the parade at home. Let me know what time would work. For us, any time after 1pm. As long you are gone before 8:biggrin:

Let me know if you need the address

did you make it to the meeting on time this year

 

Wait there's more

 

Looks like we're in the same spot as last year. This is awesome since we are really early in the parade

I didn't make it at all. DC had all kinds of issues that day and I didn't get home till after 6:00 and that was WITH a carpool that got me in the HOV. Brenda mailed me the stuff.

Kaeru could possibly be a Christmas tree... Have to figure out a way to hook a lighted star to the antenna and do ornaments...

 

Poison ivy wants to be a tree too, I think we could put both trees as the start and end cars

 

If you get an inverter for like $25 you can light up your lights. masking tape usually holds things on well enough
