I may have cried a little

Tonight was the local "tree lighting ceremony" in our cute little town, so we all bundled up and went to see the HS band play, local choir sing, and the whole town square light up for Christmas. It was a lot of fun and Elise LOVED it. Poor Ainsley was so bundled up she could barely move, but it was cold out! We're not used to 35 degrees around here.
On the way home, Elise was talking about the moon being out in the sky. Since we were heading home to sleep, her train of thought only made sense...
She asked, "Where the Sun go to sleep?" We told her that it just goes away to sleep. (not really prepared with a good answer on that one...). Her face lit up and she said, "I know. Maybe moon go sleep on the clouds!!!". She was so enthusiastic and so excited that she had come up with such a great idea! So creative and oh so adorable. I loved it and totally started crying...I'm such a sap!

It was JUST LIKE in "A Christmas Story"...poor thing! But she was warm!

Everyone had fun...we don't do "night outings" often, so it was a treat

Elise was very excited to be high enough to see all the lights and music

I cry like that too. They can be so insightful and so young at the same time. Lauren had a long talk about GOD and Jesus that really got me.
