Thanksgiving part 3

What a great get-away weekend we had. We ended our festivities by getting a glimpse of Santa Claus...

And seeing the Christmas Tree lighting ceremony!!

We also saw the new Disney movie, "Frozen". It was such a good weekend!

This morning we got up and went to the town parade they were having here. It was a fun little parade. Tonight we are planning on seeing Disney's Frozen, and then waking around the shopping mall here. It's been a fun weekend! We had great seats for the parade. We brought our own camp chairs and found front row seats!!

Happy Thanksgiving

We decided to take a little get-away trip and went to Reston, VA. It's a town about 2 hours away and has cute little shops and events happening throughout the weekend. We first started out the day with trying our hand with ice skating. We didn't last very long, but at least now Lillie can say she went skating.

We then walked around the area and the hotel.

Here's Lillie in the hotel room.

Then we got ready for dinner. We went to a restaurant across the street from the hotel. We were surprised at how busy the place was. Our food was so good! We were very pleased.

Then after dinner we went to the outlet mall at 9PM, and got some good deals! The lines were pretty crazy. They wrapped around the outside of the store. Kim got her Christmas presents already!

As fun as today was, we have some fun things planned for tomorrow.

Christmas comes to the Sakais early this year (2013)

Childhood ornament tree...filled with my childhood ornaments growing up. We add new things to this collection each year to give to Lillie someday.

For the family room couch, we bought some Christmas pillows this year.

We also added this year, a felt garland, strung across our picture window, to display all the cards we get from family and friends. It is very festive.
