Lighting of Tree

Over Thanksgiving Weekend, we went to the lighting of the Christmas tree in our town center.  It's something we had been looking forward to all week....but the bitter cold weather kept it a "short" visit for us!  Nevertheless, we had a great time.  There were supposed to be carolers there, but I think the high school students decided they don't work under 30 degrees! ;)  Santa arrived on a firetruck and helped light the tree.  Then, he stayed for pictures, but with the really long line out in the cold, we decided to just wave and see him another day!  (Side note, Abigail's favorite Xmas song right now is Santa Claus is Coming to Town, and everytime we sing it and get to the part "coming to town" Abigail says "He's already at town...I saw him at the mall!").  We had some hot chocolate in the wonderful heated tent (hense the pictures of Abigail with no gloves on...don't worry, she had gloves), took a little nap (Caitlin managed to sleep through the entire event...I guess she hibernated....smart girl), and then headed home!  Fun evening!!!
