Boston Common Christmas Tree Lighting

December 5th, 2013

It's been a crazy week.  Today is the first day I've really just been able to relax and enjoy time with the kiddos.  It was so nice. 

We started the day exploring a new place, the North Point Park.  It's not a far walk from us and is now one of my favorite places in the city.  The views of the city, bridges, water, trains, etcetera are amazing. I could go on all day.  The kids had a great time playing on the playground as well.

Christian wanted to pose for a picture, Lindalee did not.

She never ended up going down.

Little monkey loved the monkey bars

Lindalee, not so much.

After the uneventful Christmas tree lighting at Fanuel Hall, I was a bit apprehensive towards attending another.  Chris' boss gave him VIP tickets for the Boston Commons lighting, so, I couldn't say no.  I'm glad I didn't!  It was the most magical and spectacular Christmas event I have ever been to.  Even the kids were mesmerized by the entertainment {95% of the time}, which speaks for itself.   We saw Joey McIntyre {New Kids on the Block, flash back!}, Erica Van Pelt, Blue Man Group, Nova Scotia Band, the Boston Ballet, the Boston Celtics official junior dance team {they were ridiculously amazing!}, and the 2013 Wold Series trophy.  Pretty awesome!

Oh, Joey! 


Fireworks and snow {confetti snow}! 

If you ever get bored, you should check out the history behind this tree lighting, it's quite interesting.

Thankful for a wonderful day with my little ones and the strong spirit of Christmas in this wonderful city we now call home!

Silly Gabiya!
