Travis and I took the boys to our downtown Christmas Festival last night. It was so neat! We missed it last year, so we wanted to let the kids experience it this year. We started our night by going out to eat at Hometown Classic Pizza. They moved to a bigger building, and they now have a big window to put decorations in. Right now, it's housing a beautiful Christmas tree and Nutcracker.
After we were done eating, we walked down to the square and listened to the Christmas Carolers, while trying to stay warm. We grabbed some yummy hot chocolate and cookies, and went walking around for a few. At 6:45, we witnessed the lighting of the Christmas tree, followed by the Parade. We saw Santa ride in on a firetruck. I guess the reindeer must have been sleeping!
The boys wanted to stay and visit Santa in his house, but there was already a long line that formed while we were watching the parade, plus the boys needed to get home and get to bed. We promised them that we would go back another day when it wasn't so crowded. Santa will visit his house on the plaza a few more times before Christmas, so the boys will have plenty of chances to see him.
Overall, we had a very awesome night. I feel like I'm getting into the Christmas spirit more this year than I normally do. I like it!
