This should be on the family blog, but I uploaded the pictures and then realized I was on this blog and not the family one... so we'll let that slide for now. :)
Ashley was one of the kids chosen to participate in decorating a christmas tree with her 6th grade english teacher Mrs Conrady at the state capital. I was able to drive her and two friends down to it and they had a great time. When we first got there, there was some waiting time... the girls kept themselves amused with the phone.
Then the ornaments arrived and it was instant chaos... 28 kids trying to decorate the tree at the same time with parents trying to take pictures... this times 100 as there were schools decorating tree's every 20 feet throughout the state capital building... with marble floors- the sound was loud!
The Govenor and School Superintendant and Santa Clause came around and took pictures and visited with the kids after the tree was decorated.
The three girls I took, with their great teacher Mrs Conrady. Alex had her last year so it's been fun already knowing her and some of her traditions with the kids.
Then we went and stood outside in the cold and waited for the big tree lighting ceremony... it was cold... and we waited and waited, and waited... for 45 min while they had some technical difficulties.
But it was a pretty tree... and the hot cocoa we went and got afterwards was a beautiful drink too! lol! :)
