2006 Children's/Nieman Marcus/Adolfus Christmas Parade in Downtown Dallas.
Putting on the skull caps.
It took a shutter speed of a fraction of a second to catch Chris at work.
My what big eyes you have.
Before the make-up.
The finishing touches.
Cooling down.
Even with the clown make-up, they're still cute.
In a flurry of powder.
Now that everyone is signed in, Chris starts to help out.

Group picture!  Group picture!
Outside The Adolphus.
Trying to stay warm (but I have no idea why she's sucking her thumb).
Waiting for rehearsal to begin.
Taking 'go play in the street' literally.
Doing her best to help.
You never know who you'll see- it's Alex from church!
Giving big fives.
Going to the staging area.
Promoting the Dallas Morning News. (hey, get me on staff and you can have pictures like this all the time- are you listening, wink wink)
Dallas' finest.
A young pair who were very impressed.
Clowns weren't just for the kids.
Maybe the best seats in the house.
Hey!
Five minutes to show time.
And we're off...
