Tree Lighting

Last weekend Legends here in Sparks hosted their tree lighting ceremony. Santa was at Scheels for free before the event and the line was surprisingly short, so we thought we'd say hello. Liam assured me that he wouldn't cry this year and that he was excited to see Santa. He told us the truth! :D He went up and hopped on Santa's lap and got right down to business. Santa asked him what he wanted and he's been consistent in saying, "I would like a Thomas track where he is getting his breaks..." It is some sort of Thomas track set that he wants. At least he knows what he wants right? When Santa asked him if he wants anything else he said, "Nope! Just that. " When Santa asked him if he had been good this year he said, "Oh, Yes" and when Santa asked if he had any slip ups he simply said, "Nope." ;)


Here he is in deep conversation with Santa:

After Santa, we went out to the area of the tree lighting. They had a little ice rink set up for skaters and a choir. When they did the countdown to have the tree light up, all the other trees and not the giant Christmas tree lit up. It was funny, but fortunately, they did get it to light up.

Liam was most excited for the ice skaters and we did have a good view.
Heather, Shaawn and Izzy met us there. Izzy looked so cute in her little hat.





It was a fun little tradition they've started. It definitely got us into the holiday spirit!
