Tradition

The day after Thanksgiving we always go to the tree lighting and Santa arrival at Bridgeport Village. We were lucky enough to have both Pama & Papa's come with us this year. We had dinner at Macaroni Grill with the family and then headed over to wait for Santa. This year they had Santa arrive during intermission at an outside concert, so it was a lot later than normal. A little too late as all of the kids were melting waiting for Santa to arrive. Andrew, not liking crowds, was not too thrilled about the whole ordeal and just wanted to go home. Ava loved all of the music, of course. Santa finally arrived and the tree was lit and then we headed home. It wasn't the best tree lighting this year....maybe we'll try a different place for tree lighting next year, who knows!

That day Nathan spent the day putting up Christmas lights.....

while I put up Christmas decorations inside.....

the kids LOVED all the decor! Andrew said, "this looks awesome!" and Ava couldn't stop pointing and grunting at everything :)
