Lee Christmas Tree Lighting

The Christmas Tree Lighting at Lee was our first "official" event of the Christmas season. It was a cold night, but we had fun. The kids got to meet Santa and Mrs. Clause (although she was a bit overbearing and certainly a "FEMINIST" - even I was weary of hearing her talk of how Santa got all the glory while she did all the work!). We drank cider and ate cookies. At one point, we weren't sure if the tree was really going to light up, but alas it did. Grandma joined us for the grand event. Afterwards, we took the kids inside to warm up and play a little. The Christmas Tree became the "Kissmas" Tree as the college students cozied up for a intimate dance party. Let's just say that PDA certainly didn't bother them. All in all though it was a fun way to kick off the season, and we got a free photo opp with Santa. Who can beat that?
