Kicking Off the Holidays

On December 1st, we kicked off the holiday season with the annual tree lighting in town.  We've gone the past couple of years for an easy way for Drew to get a picture with Santa.  This year there was even snow!

Drew gets silly standing in line for Santa....

One of the elves had to make sure Drew was on the Nice list before visiting with Santa... he passed.  Whew!

Must take a picture with the pretty Elf....

The big guy himself...

After telling Santa he wanted a VReader and a Wii we went over toward the colored water fountains....

Mommy & Drew

The weird Christmas bear who was all alone by the fountain. 

And then the reason we came... the tree!

Despite how it appears from this cell phone shot, the tree is HUGE!  This is looking at it from the fountains.
