Christmas in Ada

Boy, am I behind in blogging this month!  That's what working extra hours will do to you.  Well, better late than never.
The first weekend in December we headed over to Ada on Friday night for their Christmas lighting and candle walk.  What a fun time we had!  All of the stores were open with tons of free goodies.  We all had our fair share of sweets, hot chocolate, and cider. 

On top of all of that, we experienced a live nativity complete with a real camel and multiple Santa sitings.  In fact, at one point, Hannah was crying as we were walking along because she wanted to go for a trolley ride.  Santa just happened to be passing us the other way and stopped right when he got to Hannah.  Immediately, the tears stopped.  He asked her if she was being a good little girl, to which she nodded yes.  He handed her a candy cane and walked off, leaving a mesmerized little girl.  When we got back to the car, she again started crying because we never rode the trolley.  After a couple of minute, she suddenly stopped and said, "You never know when Santa is watching."  I guess the big guy really made an impact!
