starting 2009 by finishing 2008

Our annual tradition, which was started before children, is to go downtown the day after Thanksgiving for the Christmas Tree Lighting festivities. It used to be that Matt and I would fight the crowd to get WONDERFUL South Bend Chocolate Company hot chocolate, but after Delaney's first trip with us, we decided crowds were over-rated with children and we'd just go to Starbucks on the way home. This year we changed it up a bit and decided to just make hot chocolate when we got home....much more relaxing!



We started our evening at The Old Spaghetti Factory. Then we walked over to the circle where we snagged front row seats for Santa's arrival via the back of a Chevy truck...kinda funny!! The kids enjoyed the music and holiday craziness and we enjoyed the family time.
