We didn't make it in time for the actual tree lighting ceremony in our town on Sunday evening, and I hate that we missed it. Chuck was officiating the ceremony and I wanted to be there for him, but Sean was late getting home from his visit with his dad.
By the time we got there it was lit and Santa and Mrs. Claus were posing for photos. We decided to skip the long line and wait until the Fire Dept. sends Santa and the Mrs. through the neighborhood.
They have expanded the route this year, so we'll have a personal visit.
We hung out at the local computer shop where there was hot cider and cookies, and we talked with the nice owner and friends. She and her boyfriend hosted the wreath-making party we attended last week.
Then we mozied over to the Fire Station where we helped Chuck cook some stir fry veggies for the potluck dinner at the station house. It was really good food, very nice people and a few emergency calls while we were there. Sean loved hanging out in the station and exploring, and Chuck led the event with an ornament exchange.
I was still searching for my camera, so no pics.
