It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...at least in Big Bear. The day after Thanksgiving and Caiden, Kiya and I decided to drive up to Big Bear to see Papa Jim and Grammie Sue and attend the annual Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony in Big Bear!!! We drove up in the afternoon and had some grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch, relaxed and then headed out to the Christmas tree lighting. Papa Jim and Caiden picked up some hot cocoa for us and some cookies and then we sang Christmas songs while we waited for the tree to be lit and Santa to make an appearance.
How beautiful is it here with the Christmas tree in the background?

Kiya looks a bit lost as she waits for the tree to be lit and the cookies and cocoa to arrive
And what does one do when tired? Sit in the gutter of course. Gutter Baby :pIt was so nice to be here, and it has such a back-in-the-day-small-town feel. It was perfect and wonderful. Makes me want to live here with the Christmas music playing and all of the people out together singing and talking to each other.
