Holiday Activity #1


THE OUTLET TREE LIGHTING

We knew going in that it was going to be crazy, so we put our best "go with the flow" attitude on.  It wasn't about Collin and me, but for the kids.  They had a Disney kid from a show they liked, and Mr. American Idol, Phillip Phillips, performing.  Fingers were crossed that it would be worth enduring the madness.  Sooooo, despite the crowd, Cutter's stomach hurting, starving kids, and actually leaving before the tree was lit...I would say it gets a rating of 3 out of 5 Christmas trees!  I still think it was worth trying though.  



The one armed lucky all fam shot!
 

All Christian wanted was an apple.
 

If you look closely, you can see the lit tree, on our way home.
 

You just can't put a price on family memories!
