Last night we went downtown for some great pizza at Pizza
Antico and then headed to Atlantic Station for the tree lighting. We went last year and had so much fun that I decided it would be a family tradition to go every year. We love traditions but I'm not convinced that Thomas is going to love this one...but we'll see! If we tie it in with a trip to Pizza
Antico then I may have him hooked.
Just like last year they sold these star wands to
benefit the Make a Wish foundation and again Julia loved her star. At first they didn't have any left that worked but I hung around the tent for a little while and they found one that worked. Julia was very excited to get a star that worked and she asked if she could take it home. She's been playing with her star at home all day today.
Daddy and Julia having fun while standing in line waiting to go on a train ride.
Last year Julia went in the yellow train and this year she picked the blue one.
She loved looking out the window at all the people.
Here's the Steel Mill X-press train. Julia and Daddy are in the blue car.
Thomas says Julia waved to everyone while she was on the train ride. She told me some people waved and some people didn't wave. Andrew just slept in the Baby Bjorn for most of the night since it was past his bedtime but I'm sure he's going to love the train ride next year!
Of course a picture of the Christmas tree!
After the tree lighting they had fireworks which was new this year. Julia just watched with her mouth open the whole time. I asked her which one was her favorite and she said 'All of them.'
I loved hearing all the Christmas music and can't wait to start playing some at home the day after Thanksgiving. This year we'll teach Julia some Christmas songs like Jingle Bells since she loves to sing and dance. On the car ride home she was playing with her star and singing some song she made up...it was very cute! Andrew woke up right before they lit the tree and feel asleep again once we started driving.

I don't think Thomas will have a choice anymore because Julia won't forget and she will ask to go and Daddy's don't say no to their little girls. I think the tree was very pretty. It is too bad that you don't get to ride the train or is it a daddy and Julia thing? Thanks for sharing I so love looking at all the pictures and almost feel like I am there with you.
