Here in Katy every November they have the annual 'Katy Tree Lighting'. It's our own little NYC Rockefeller Center moment. The last 2 years Kailee has sung with the Katy Jr. High Choir for the tree lighting. It is a new fun tradition for us to go each year! The kids love it...why?...not for the beautiful christmas music, not even for the candy and treats that are handed out, but for the SNOW. That's right, SNOW. The city and the fire department always crush up that ice and make 2 huge mounds of snow for all the kids to play in! This year it was a little warmer than last...as you can see Ty was in shorts. I think they would have preferred some gloves so they could've stayed there all night but even without them they had a great time! They threw snowballs and jumped around in there until we drug them away to go watch Kailee sing. For the last song the choir sang "Here Comes Santa Clause" and then santa did come...in great style...his sleigh was a lit up and on top of one of the fire trucks! We watched as Santa lit the city tree and then the kids were begging to get back to the snow! It was fun! Makes me want to get my tree out! I will wait till next Friday though!! I will, I will!
5 chatted at me:
The Fullmers are just having way too much fun this November. I'm putting all these events in my calendar next year. What great traditions!
You are so disciplined! I already have three trees set up and one decorated (Thanksgiving is at my house this year so I could not do EVERYTHING). Looks like a great time at the tree lighting! Love the pics of shorts and snow!
Your town sounds awesome! What a great tradition!
That is the only way I want snow too...on my terms, planned and wearing shorts!
You guys do the greatest things that the kids will remember when they are our age. You'll be famous forever! Love you!
Good! Everyone should get to experience snow! Sounds super fun! You are a great mom T!! Love you!
