A few months ago, I was asked to help with our ward's float for the Wellington Christmas Parade. I had no idea what to expect, I have never done anything like this before. They had a float in the parade last year, so there was a trailer ready to go. Luckily, there were alot of creative people on this committee, I was amazed at how much we got done at that first meeting. We called our float, "The First Gifts". We started decorating the day before Thanksgiving and the finishing touches were done a few hours before the parade began. We had a Santa, 3 Kings and some sign holders on the float. We had a great sound system that played Christmas music. We had some volunteers handing out glow stick bracelets with pass-along cards on them. The pass-along cards were so that people could order a free Christmas DVD. We handed out 900 glow sticks and pass-along cards. It was really fun. Ryan and Braxton were both on the float. The weather really cooperated with us. It's crazy that it's December and we have no snow!!! Oh and where was the littlest Brophy? She was watching the parade with Grandma and enjoying the candy that people were throwing. Thanks Grandma!!!!!
