It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

We went to another Christmas event this past weekend.  The Sunday after Thanksgiving is when the St. Louis Hills Home Owners Association has the tree lighting ceremony in Francis Park.  We've gone the last 4 years to this, and it was almost proposal spot.  This year was extra special because it was Gabe's first big Christmas experience.

Gabe slept the whole way to the Birch's and was very bright eyed once we got to the park.  Thankfully, it was almost 60 earlier in the afternoon and it was still fairly warm while we waited for the lights to come on.  Mathew joined Scott and I as we waited for FredBird, Santa and Mrs. Claus to arrive.  Then there was the big count down by the Mayor and then the tree was lit and the Carols were sung.  Gabe just starred at the bright tree not knowing what to think of it all. 

A couple pictures later we were off to find Ben and head home.  It was a long drive for 45 minutes of hanging out with the Birch's, but it was fun and it is a tradition that we will continue.
