Lighting of the Christmas Tree...sort of.

On Thanksgiving night we decided it would be fun to go to Lenox Mall and see the lighting of the Christmas tree. We met up with my brother and his family there and were ready for some fun. The advertisement on t.v. said there was a pre-show at 6:30 and the tree lighting was at 7. Perfect we though! Watch the tree light up, load up in the car and head home just in time for bed. Whoo! Except the tree didn't actually light until 8. The pre-show was basically the singers/dancers warming up. And it was FREEZING outside!!!!! Though we were all pretty bundled up, it was still so cold. The adults could have clearly toughened up, but the poor freezing, hungry, tired kids just could not handle it. Really, we headed home at 7 for their sake.
We managed to get back to the car, load up, and get home in time to watch the tree light up live on TV! Now we know why we have lived in ATL for as long as we have and never gone down to see the live show. It was a great idea though!
Isabel is really having a blast!

Ayda was so bundled up! She looked quite comfy!



Abby was so good to Ayda! She made sure she was doing ok under all the blankets. She was so sweet rubbing her head and talking to her.

The crew...having so much fun! We were so bundled we could barely move around to pick up little ones!
