Homecoming Parade and Exchanging of the Mums and Garters

For those of you who do not reside in Texas, homecoming is a very BIG deal in Texas! Yesterday at Tanner's school, they had the Homecoming Parade to begin the festivities. Each athletic department (and other departments as well) make their own float for the parade.

Emma loved seeing and waving to all the kids on the floats not to mention the candy and goodies that they were throwing out....she made out like a bandit! Her Bubba even hand delivered a lollipop to her!
































After the parade, we headed over to Tanner's friends house for the exchanging of the mums and garters! The mums and garters are worn to school on Friday.
