Hanover hosts a fun evening on the night of the Christmas Tree lighting on the Green. A friend tipped us off to this on Friday morning, and on our last day before Alasdair came home from his week away, we needed an adventure. So we bundled up and headed over. Various stores were open to host kids crafts or snacks -- the girls had a blast with their friends, painting ornaments, decorating gingerbread men at Lou's, riding a mechanical reindeer & eating "snow" (popcorn and powdered munchkins), tasting free chocolate, and making necklaces, roasting marshmellows outside Ramuntos, and of course watching the lights come on on the big Christmas tree. For the first hour or so until her husband joined us, it was just my friend Kristin & I and our combined 5 kids (aged 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5)... which equaled a lot of chaos, dropped mittens, and carrying each other kids. :) When it was time to go home, I decided at the girls' request that we'd prolong the adventure and wait in line to ride the horse drawn wagon around down. A fun night that we'll try to remember for next year. (This all happened on day 3 of potty training Adara, so I was very proud of her -and myself! - for making it through 3.5 hours of running around without any accidents!)
