Greg and all of our children were in the parade this year at the beginning of the stroll, and then participated in many of the activities throughout Whoovillage.
Early on the morning of the Stroll, I dressed Lavella and I up as Whoos, since our costumes/hair/make-up is the most involved of our family.
Decorating the Grinch house -- trying to figure out how to wrap the lights around the logs in the fireplace for a "real fire" effect. (I'd gotten all of the decorating mostly in place in the two days before, but there were some finishing touches that needed attention that morning.)
Test shooting -- Andrew went with me early to the Stroll to set up, so he got an early look at everything that morning.

At the end of the day, all of the children got out of costume and hung out with me in the Grinch house while Greg started breaking down Whoovillage to pack it all away for next year.
So much work, and SO much fun! I am looking forward to next year already.
