La Centerra's Annual Tree Lighting

The kids & I always look forward to the La Centerra tree lighting each year. . . we love seeing Santa ride in on the fire truck, making crafts, cookies, & more.  This year, Rylie's friend Zoe went w/ us & they all had a good time. . . until we got rained out! :)

The kids by the huge tree - it's kinda sad though they're all in shorts by the Christmas tree!

 Gator & the Gingerbread Boy!

 Showing off her candy cane balloon!

 What kid doesn't love balloon toys?!

 Face painting. . . we spent most of our time waiting in that line!

 Sweet girls!

Nestle Tollhouse always has a booth where you can decorate your own sugar cookie. . .  they went a big sugar crazy!  But oh-so-yummy!

 Zoe had fun trying on Christmas accessories when we walked thru Claire's!

 As we were leaving we ran into Frosty!  Great way to end our time there!
