Beginning the Christmas Season

I have to admit I have had a hard time getting with it this year. Maybe because stores put out Christmas so early now that I tell myself to ignore it and once it finally is here I am caught off guard. So we have been trying to get into the season now that it is here. One of the best ways for us is to head downtown for the lighting of the Mission Inn. It was so much fun. The fireworks were great, but #3 didn't enjoy them. He was scared. We then attempted to walk around the Inn, but it was too cold and windy. We also were getting some whiny boys. We went home lit a fire to warm ourselves up.
