6044 minutes until Christmas!!

Yes, that is how excited we are around here for the big day! We went downtown yesterday to see the national tree. Walking over to it I suddenly remembered last year when we were downtown and as we approached the tree, Claire the easy going baby suddenly freaked out and didn't want to even look at the tree. This year was much better, she really enjoyed it. We watched the trains that are set up around a little village that is built around the tree, we found the Virginia tree, we had some hot cocoa and listened to a choir, and warmed up by the huge bonfire. Santa was there too in a little log cabin workshop, but the line to see him was pretty insane, and we had already tortured Claire with meeting Santa so we didn't want to do that to her again!

Very funny Nicole! My kids haven't pushed us to break down the days into minutes, yet! I am so dumb, when I first read your post, I thought you said you went to see the Viagra tree! Virginia tree, yes that makes much more sense! :)

Oh, phew! I thought I had a major misspelling in there!
