A Night of Festive Fun!! :)

Let the traditions begin!!! We met our bff's at the Macy's great tree lighting. What fun! It's always so nice to see them...sadly we never get to see them often enough these days.

Little Miss A and Mr. D both LOVED seeing Ken, Mck, Kam and BC. After a bite of pizza, we hit the street in search of the perfect spot. Daddy and Mr. B went to get warm drinks...it was a nice cool night. :) Meanwhile, the kids PLAYED up a storm...it was difficult to contain them to a space that was growing smaller by the second. We listened to lullaby Christmas music, at one point I thought Little Miss A was going to fall asleep. (Some American Idol singer...Jason somebody with dreads that Miss J warned me was very mellow.) Once the tree was lit, things picked up a bit. Fireworks to Transiberian Orchestra...both the kids LOVED. Glad to see our fear of fireworks, Little Miss A, may be a thing of the past. :)

After the fireworks we walked a bit with our friends just taking in the local festive scene. :)

We ended the evening with a trip to the bookstore. You know you're in trouble when as a book lover, you're kids are more drawn to the stuffed animals and toys in the children's book section than the books themselves. YIKES!!!

What a fun evening!!! We're already looking forward to many more this holiday season...let the planning begin!!! :)
