Bicycle caroling

Baylee and I tagged along with the McCaig's in their first annual bicycle caroling!  They live in a small town, so there was very little traffic as we rode up and down the streets and they also knew quite a few people within a three block radius, which worked out perfect when caroling by bike!

We started by decorating the bikes. Kate and Baylee added tinsel and lights. 


Then we met at the church in town to see if any other carolers were going to join us. We ended up with 8 bikes, one golf cart and a truck that followed us in case we needed a ride. They had specific people planned to go visit, so we just followed the leader from house to house. 


The recipients of the caroling were so sweet. The first several were older people and they all loved it! One invited us in for drinks, another apologized for not looking better and one let us know we raised her spirits since this is her first Christmas since her husband passed away.  At one house two of the teenage girls wanted to join us, so they jumped in their golf cart and added to our parade. It was so much fun! As it began to get dark, we headed back to Michelle's house for hot chocolate. I am already looking forward to next year and bringing all the boys! They are going to love it just as much as Baylee and I did!
