This was the 2nd year that we hit the Arlington Heights Christmas Tree lighting ceremony the day after Thanksgiving. It is a really nice little program with some singing and speeches, followed by lighting of the big Christmas tree and a large light display in the park right downtown in Arlington Heights. Not only is it really pretty, it is a nice excuse to get out of the house and walk around the day after Thanksgiving.
Last year the lighting totally freaked Kendall out, but this year, she was in awe and wonder. The whole park lights up at once and so did her eyes.
After the initial lighting we walked around and checked it all out. I was hoping for some Christmas card photos, and although we got some great ones, I never got around to those Christmas cards. Kendall ran around and took it all in - dragging us along behind her.
Definitely fun for all of us, and definitely a new tradition for our family in the coming years.
