The One With The Tree Lighting

Today was the annual town tree lighting and - as in the past few years - we decided to venture out and experience some of the other things it has to offer. And we were not disappointed.

First, we made a stop at the Cherry Street Market. We got some delicious clam chowder that they had to offer. It was great. We never even knew they served chowder there, so we learned it was a must visit after that.

Next, we toured downtown and partook of a few of the goodies they had to offer, including meatballs, popcorn, chicken fingers, and cookies....all free and equally delicious. There were even a few treat bags for Bri and Kiff to snag.

After, we attended the annual Girl Scout caroling event, which is always a special take! It was a lot of fun....and only about 15 minutes, too, which was just enough time for us to head down and watch Santa arrive by fire engine before turning on the tree lights in the square.

We saw plenty of folks out that we knew, too, which made it a true community event.

We came home, enjoyed some grub from the 99 and we watched The Christmas Story (for the first time not on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day, but on DVD). All in all, a great day!
