Lighting of Breckenridge!

The night began w/ a little college football @ Eric's! Bama vs Florida... so happy Bama whipped 'em! We bundled Elsie Anne up in her stroller + walked to the River Walk Town Square... ...where Santa Clause arrived in his horse drawn carriage to count down the 'Lighting of Breckenridge'!! Here he is leading everyone in the countdown...
...10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1... OOOOH, AAHHHH! The crowd cheered as the lights flicked on... Elsie Anne's eyes grew big + her smile even bigger:) Reminds me of New York's Rockefeller Square Tree, just smaller!

...then we followed Santa + his carriage in a procession to Main Street Station... ...and walked in the very front near 'Riparoo' the mascot of Breck Ski School! If you look closely, EA is in the background in her B.O.B....
...and here is my cute family enjoying the very brisk walk! It was in the teens all day, so it was super cold for the festivities!

A sweet lady offered a family shot + I was quick to take her up on it! I hate asking people for that, so its always nice when someone offers!! This is how the entire town is decorated... until the end of the season in March!
It was a perfect family night + really got us in the spirit of Christmas!
