Santa Claus is Coming to Town

Starting last year, we decided to make it a tradition to go to the lighting of the tree at the local shopping center nearby.  They have activities, Christmas carols, Mrs. Claus story time, and Santa Claus lighting the tree at the very end.  It is a lot of fun and a great way to get the Christmas season going.  This year, my parents and grandpa arrived right before the tree was lit since they were coming down for Thanksgiving.  Liam loved cheering for Santa and Marlo loved seeing all the lights.  She kept saying "wow."
