I love to be downtown to see the lights come on the day after Thanksgiving, This year someone that Ray knows told us about a celebration and lights at the Grand America Hotel so we packed up the kids and left to see what it was all about.. Well we had the best time ever. We didn't think it would be inside so it was a lot colder than we thought it would be but they had all kinds of things to do.
Lots of HOT CHOCOLATE, Scones and the roasted flavored almonds yummy...
As long as Dax had a drink he was a happy man.
They did a tour of the Hotel so we went in to get warm. This is looking out of the Presidential Suite.
They also started the Angel Tree. This tree was FULL of elderly people that just wanted a blanket. It made me stop and think how very grateful we are to have a nice warm home and family that loves us and helps us along the way.
They also had a place to decorate gingerbread men so we did that too.. the kids had more fun eating the candy. (Ray that is)
We had to wait in line to have our picture taken with Santa to bad Dax HATED IT....
They also had an auction of Gingerbread houses for JDF (Juvenile Diabeties Foundation)
This is the inside of one of them I could not believe the work that went into them.
We had a lot of fun that night can't wait until next year. It was the perfect way to start the Christmas season.
