Leawood City Hall Tree Lighting

Well, nothing gets you in the holiday spirit more then a tree lighting does. That is if you live in New York City and get to see their Christmas lighting!

Well we went to Leawood's Town Hall tonight with Aunt Anne and Kate and let's just say it was something you would go to only if you knew a kid who was singing in the elementary choir or dancing in the dance studio's performance. I think we might have been the only people there who didn't have a connection. I was pretty bummed because I wanted it to kick off my Thanksgiving week with some Holiday spirit.

But the girls had fun. They loved the music, got to see the woodchuck named woody (even though we kept calling him chippy), had a cookie or two, ran around outside at night and got to see a Christmas lighting. Sure it wasn't Rockefeller but they know no difference and had a blast together like they usually do!


Waiting for the lights and listening to caroling

Here we are with "Chippy." Both girls were pretty timid when they first saw him. After a while, Anna was taking pictures with him and Ashley was giving high fives!

Following Chippy into the Town Hall for refreshments. Yes, we are holding his hand and just letting him take us in away from our parents. Note to self- Kate will leave with any mascot; she fears no mascot :)

Pretty Lights

We had a blast running around outside- can't you see our blur in the picture above! We literally ran circles around the lights after the ceremony!

Dance party on the stage!!!

Much Love,
Jenny

PS IF we show up again next year, we will arrive 30 minutes later, just for the lighting!!!
