Tree Lighting

Last night was the official Springfield tree lighting. They have an event every year but this year was the first time we attended. We thought Sam would enjoy it, and there were a few surprises for her in store!
We stopped at one of the tables to get some hot chocolate. Thankfully, it wasn’t a freezing night, but the hot chocolate was yummy anyway! We got Sam a Santa hat (free!) at another table, as well as some cookies. Yum!
It was a huge crowd of people, all milling around talking, wearing their Santa hats and listening to the DJ play Christmas carols.
We had made arrangements to meet Sam’s friend, Lina, at the event. It was a miracle we found each other, but we did!
It seemed like forever before anything happened, but then….fireworks!
Sam was shocked! She definitely did not expect that.
As the fireworks were going off, Santa arrived on the ladder truck to talk to the crowd.
Finally, it was tree time!
We walked home and I thought our house looked so nice, it deserved a mention on the blog. Here we are, all ready for Christmas!
