Tree Lighting

I bundled up the babies and met Dave in town to watch the Christmas tree lighting in front of the capitol building. Despite Dave's best efforts, I bought the babies matching monkey hats and mittens-they're just too cute and I know that they'll only go along with matching accessories for so long! We arrived just in time for the countdown for the tree lighting; there were decorations and lights, and local children's choruses sang Christmas carols.

I love these small town events-they're so much fun for the kids (and us!), and there's really no hassle--everything is so close, there's no traffic and there's always accessible parking. And more often than not, we run into acquaintances and friends.

You are a great spokes person for Carson City. I think I'll come and visit!

Living in Tucson is a lot like Carson City. We have less traffic, parking is SO easy and there are a ton of family events. It's a nice change of pace from Vegas.
