Kicking Off the Christmas Season

Our first Christmas activity this year was to go to the Dallas Christmas tree lighting in downtown Dallas a few weeks ago.  We met friends at Campisi's just like last year for dinner beforehand.  Mia is more excited about all of our Christmas activities this year.  She understands better all of the fun aspects of Christmas.  We still have to stop in the hallway at school every day so that she can point out the baby Jesus.  Mia thinks it's so cool that he gets to have his birthday on Christmas Day.  We walked by Neiman Marcus to look at the window displays.  They had a tube that kids could crawl through that weaved in and out of the windows.  It looked like a lot of fun, but our kids were all still to short to be allowed to do it.  They were close, though.  Next year, I bet.  We dawdled a bit too long at Neiman Marcus and missed the actual lighting of the tree at the Main Street Garden Park.  We made it down there to see the tree and play in the park for awhile.  The kids were exhausted by the time we left!

 

We saw this tree made out of vintage car parts!
