Tree Lighting on the New Haven Green

The big tree lighting on the New Haven Green happened last Thursday. I, unfortunately, had school and could not go (grumble grumble). Scarlett and Joe went without me though and had a great time. Here are some pictures Joe took....without me (grumble grumble). Joe and Scarlett met everyone at the church for some cookies...And our minister, John Gage, let Scarlett wear his super cool elf hat. She was honored.Joe and Scarlett went outside to see if the tree was ready to be lit - but it wasn't. And it started to rain.So Joe and Scarlett went back to the church...and played in the pews for a bit.Then they went back outside just in time for, da-da-da DA... The tree lighting!!
Then it was cold and rainy so they left.

Yay Christmas trees!
