O Christmas Tree

A week or so before Thanksgiving the fancy-schmancy mall in Austin (it's called The Domain) had a Christmas Tree lighting of their Macy's Christmas Tree. They had some carolers perform and then later in the evening there were to be Fireworks and a performance by American Idol winner 2007 Jordan Sparks.  

When we got to the plaza this^ was a close as we were to the stage. But we were a couple of hours early so we didn't think that Kennadee would be able to handle sitting there in her stroller for two hours so we walked around and looked at the stores. We didn't want to feel bad about our poverty stricken selves to we didn't go into many of the stores namely Neiman Marcus,  Barney's New York, Tiffany's, J Crew, & Louis Vuitton. So we mainly hung out in the Borders book store and Macy's.

When it was time to start the show they had a lot of different people perform before it was time to see Jordan they had a little interview with her but it seemed like it would be forever until she performed Kennadee had to go to the bathroom therefore making it impossible for us to stay so we had to go before Jordan performed and before the lighting of the tree. Oh well at least we beat the traffic getting out of there. And we made it to a restaurant before they got really crowded.

Here is Russell trying to warm up Kennadee's hands because she was freezing cold.

And here is our little Christmas tree. We got it the day after Thanksgiving. We weren't going to get a real tree this year. But when Russell saw them at Wal-Mart and that this one was only $25

He HAD to get one!! I just hope it lasts all the way until Christmas. I guess if it doesn't it was cheap enough that we can go get a second one!!

I am so excited for this Christmas season!! Merry Christmas Everyone!!
