Southlake Tree Lighting

We've started a little tradition with the Francis Family: have dinner and then head to the Southlake Christmas Tree Lighting in Town Square. How can you say no to such good friends, good food and delicious peppermint bark?! Sadly Mark was gone (Costa Rica to see the 20th anniversary Pearl Jam concert; awesome) and I was sad he missed a fantastic night... until we headed home. Emma screamed the entire way home because she didn't see the green fountain or get hot chocolate, and Juliana decided to get sick. Thankfully everyone was on the mend the next day and my memory lingers on the fun and the peppermint bark instead. Let the holidays continue!


Peppermint Bark!



Riley, Kate and Emma. What cracks me up about this picture is that those are Juliana's hands on the left hand side and she wouldn't go near Rudolph, but was happily cheering the other girls on!
