we have a tradition in our house: on the day after thanksgiving we always get up really early and go shopping. my mom and her dad have been going every year for as long as i can remember, and i started going along when i was 5. (wyatt isn't a morning person, and doesn't like to go when we do. usually he and dad come and meet us later in the morning). this year, me and mom and pepaw left our house at 5:50 to go to the mall (you can almost see the time on the clock in the picture). we bought a few things, but the shopping part is not really why we go - it's just a tradition!
you'd think i'd be too tired to do anything else that day, but we went down to market square that afternoon to the tree lighting ceremony. our uncle eric and aunt ali came too, and brought gavin and nolen with them. gavin had fun playing with us in krutch park.
there was a fireworks ceremony and the lights came on everywhere downtown - there were SOOO many. it was really neat.
we also made candles that smell really good.
i put a bunch of different scents in mine - my favorite was cookie dough.
we got to hear a few christmas stories...
and make christmas cookies with mrs. claus!
it was a really fun evening, and the perfect way to end a really big day!~kellen
