Tis the season





When we were moving away from Maryland one of the things I was really going to miss was all of the fun things they did in downtown Rockville. Little did I know that we would be moving to a town with a town center that did some of the same stuff! This last weekend we went to the Holiday stroll, which Sofia has not stopped talking about. It was great, they had lights up, and Christmas music playing. We ate dinner in a little restaurant in downtown, where Emily LOVED the snowflake shiny decorations. Then we went out in to the town center just in time to see Santa coming down the street on top of the fire engine. We stood in line to see him and got a candy cane and a coloring book. We then went to our favorite store, The children's book store. They had one of the music teacher dressed up as a Christmas doll (almost like in the nutcracker). If you dropped money in her basket she would sing parts of Christmas carols. Sofia thought she was a life size doll, and that she was magic. It was really cute to hear her talk about it the whole way home. They also had two princesses there, of course. It was a fantastic way to kick off the holiday season in our new town.
