We participated in a great community event yesterday. Complete with a tree lighting, fireworks (one of the best shows I'd ever seen!), a petting zoo, pony rides, hot cocoa, a band (Nora loved "playing" the bells; she kept looking at boy to her left to see what she was supposed to do), balloon art (check out Nora's penguin) and more that we didn't even have a chance to see (like a Santa visit and jumping house). We decided the ACLU and PETA would have had a field day there between the prayers and thanksgiving offered to Jesus Christ (by the Mayor!) and the animals contained in a small area with dozens of squealing kids (my favorite was the boy running after a flock of geese around and around the pin with his arms held out in front of him). We went with the Brownfields who had us over for pizza after the party. How great is that? It was a festive night, and really got me in the mood for Christmas. The last picture is of Nora in front of our Christmas tree (can you tell she's just a little excited?). Sigh. I love Christmas.

That sounds like an awesome event! How fun to do it w/ friends too. The picture of Nora in front of the tree is adorable. You should put it a Christmas picture frame so you can pull it out for future Christmases. Too cute!
I LOVE the picture of Nora with the Christmas tree. I know she is excited. We are heading home tomorrow (pray for our sanity!) and Sam keeps telling me that we are getting on the airplane to "go to Christmas". Missing you!
