Downtown Christmas, Polar Express, and Crafts....

I always feel our Christmas Season starts with our local businesses, A Downtown Christmas. This year, Ninnie, Poppy, Jason, Kelli, and Hayden came along for the fun. Usually this event is greeted with the first snap of cold weather, but this night was the perfect cold... you could be fashionable in your coats, scarfs, and gloves but could stand to be outside.

Addie's favorite part about A Downtown Christmas?
The sweet treats in every store of course...
and she is trying to turn Drew's tooth sweet as well.

We arrived about the same time as this jolly old soul...

I love looking around seeing the looks of excitement on children's faces when Santa arrives. There is just something magical about Santa on a firetruck. This is Addie's face when she sees the man in the red suit. She is just not a fan of the up close and personal Santa but we hope she will come around soon.

We walked for a while, talked with friends, viewed the local high school's art show, and looked in a few shops. Drew filled up on snacks and cookies and Addie was excited to find this cute little girl to play with....

Hayden taking in the sites of Main Street Dickson...

After we walked the streets of Downtown,
Addie's dance class had their Christmas performance.
They danced to The Polar Express.
Miss Amy has to get a big pat on the back for getting
3, 4, and 5 year olds to learn a Christmas dance in 4 rehearsals!!!

During the performance, one of the little girls moved over onto her "dot". So what does Addie do? Walks over to Miss Amy, pokes her leg, and asks, "Can you come and dance with me over there?" It was quite cute and I still cannot believe she dances as much as she does.

Getting on the train to the North Pole...

Drew loves being the dance scene.
He jumps, boogies, and stomps his feet with the music.

Poppy and Drew getting their groove on...

And finally to wrap this post up,
Christmas Craft Time.

Kyle and I found this tree in our shopping adventures and knew it would be right up Addie's alley. She decorated her tree for about an hour and a half. The only reason she stopped...

we ran out of stickers!!!
Hope you all are having fun this Christmas Season.
