This year, just like the past few years, we were able to make it to the annual JWU tree lighting. This year the actual tree lighting was in Gateway village, so the actual tree was triple in size. We might as well have been in Rockefeller Center. It was beautiful and the kids loved it, especially all the fun leading up to the main event. There were crafts, snacks and about four different holiday figures walking around such as Santa and the grinch.
Neither kid really wanted to talk to Santa, but we did manage a photo. Henry especially was afraid. He had just had a rough encounter with the Grinch and was just about fed up with these holiday figures.
But not Maggie, I think she prefers these make believe friends to real people.
My favorite part of the evening is hanging out with our RUF kids and spreading the Christmas cheer.
And being with these guys is pretty awesome too.
