Sun Prairie Christmas Tree Lighting

We got to start another new tradition this year with the Sun Prairie Christmas Tree Lighting and Fire Truck parade! It was a lot of fun, despite the COLD! We all bundled up, so the temperatures were pretty tolerable. Here is daddy and the girls anxiously awaiting the start of the fire truck parade:
The parade was really cool! There were firetrucks from all over the Madison area and they got all decked out in Christmas lights and decorations. Some even had snow machines on the top of them! They played Christmas music and blared their horns and sirens. The kids really loved it! Here is one of the most decorated trucks:
After the parade, we all went over to where the tree would be lit. They brought Santa in on a fire truck (see below!). They raised him up and over the tree and he sprinkled "elf dust" on the tree and it lit up. It was really fun to see!
After his duties of lighting the tree, Santa visited with the kids. Here is Mikaiya's reaction when I asked her if she would like to tell Santa what she wants for Christmas this year:
Braenna on the other hand was willing to brave it...I guess she'll do anything for a candy cane!!
