A new tradition

For the past two Christmases I have wanted to attend the Golden Candlelight walk, but just haven't been able to make it.  Tonight we did it!  We met some friends in a massive crowd near the Foothills Art Center and walked from one end of Golden to the other carrying candles and singing Christmas carols.  It was a little crazy with so many people, but much fun.  At the end we gathered around and watched a wreath being 'dropped', something like the ball in Times Square at New Years.  At the end of the countdown all the Christmas lights along Clear Creek came on.  It was beautiful!  Definitely a tradition worth keeping.  Next time with warmer socks!

Afterward we went to a friends house for some chili and good conversation.  I spent some time talking with her 5th grade daughter about her drawing.  Very fun.

And tonight's Jesse Tree ornament was the Tower of Babel.  ....still going.
