here in the northeast, you really don't expect 70 degree weather to come anywhere near santa. but today it did. (maybe it didn't hit 70 but it sure was close. and for december, anything above 40 is hot.)
our town had a big holiday lighting thing. the street in the center of town was closed off, rudolf and frosty came to shake hands with the kiddos, hot chocolate was passed out (we opted for ice cream instead...insane.), and towards the end, santa arrived!! it was so much fun to see all the kids (avery especially, though she didn't really "get it") react to santa. it suddenly felt a little more holiday-like.
we had decided that bedtimes would be pushed back a bit and hoped for the best. the girls were amazing! avery held hands for most of the time, rode on zane's shoulders, ate pizza like a big girl, waved at the characters and had a blast! nola hung out with me, slept for a little, and made her new babbling sounds on the walk back to the car. it was a fantastic evening :)
her first sighting!
she was getting a bit giddy and foolish :)
our pre-santa dinner. pizza on a bench. outside. in december!
happy holidays!
