Nolan started the night off in a bit of a mood, but perked up pretty quickly (that seems to be the theme of 5 years old...) He surprised us when he refused to go see Santa. I was shocked! There wasn't even a line and he wanted nothing to do with him! We rode the train first and then decided we would try again later, but nope!
Instead, he saw a dancing, singing Elvis and decided he wanted his picture taken with HIM. Ok buddy - here you go!
By far the highlight of Nolan's night was the music store. All of the local shops stay open and let folks come in a visit, but the music store was new to us. They had a stage set up and all of the instruments out for kids to play on. I really thought we were going to have to let Nolan sleep there! He did not want to leave the drum set!
Most of my pics from tonight were of this - ha!
We slowly made our way down the street to the Square and the tree. We haven't ever actually stayed to see it lit yet. It's just always been too late at night and a school night, so maybe next year when he is older we will try it. And, we are always so hungry by the time we walk down the street that we would rather eat than sit there. #priorities.
Our last stop was the final building that always shoots out fake snow. Really, I think it's a bubble machine, but the kids love it regardless. Until it gets in your mouth...
...so we took him to pizza and that made it all better :) Until next year, Clayton!
