sonoma tree

while checking out jersey mike's, i stumbled upon a large public christmas tree that i hadn't previously known about.  i felt like one of my fellow bloggers (although this tree wasn't quite as out in the open as the one he stumbled upon).

one colorado tree lighting night

i took the baby for a stroll on friday night to check out the tree lighting ceremony at one colorado - part of old town pasadena's seasonal event calendar.  it was incredibly busy with a wide variety of events taking place - the tasty christmas treats being handed out, photos with santa, and the christmas movies being shown on the screen.  i'm not sure if baby A. knew what to make of the hustle and bustle, but i thought it was a fun time.

deck the halls

the paseo colorado shopping complex is currently undergoing its seasonal changes - christmas decorations, and even a giant menorah (see it across the way?).

it was interesting to see the tree being decorated by a boom lift truck - is your tree big enough to need one of those?

twas the day before christmas

the tree at one colorado plaza, all decked out in its christmas glory. whether you celebrate christmas or not, i hope you can find a moment in the next few days to enjoy the holidays!

merry christmas from pasadena!

whatever your holiday traditions include, i hope today is filled with peace, love, and joy. we're on our way to pennsylvania today to spend a few days with meredith's family, but we'll be back in time for the new year and the parade. can't wait!

merry christmas!

all lit up

this photo was recently published on my blog, recently the tree has been enhanced.
