Tree Lighting

Every year the hospital has their tree lighting and the kids at the daycare get to come and sing songs. This Tuesday was the day for the tree-lighting. I took the afternoon off of work and headed over to the hospital. As I was walking up this is what I saw.

Yes, that is Ben riding in the front of the buggy (the one with no hair of course). The poor teachers had to push babies all the way from the daycare to the hospital (it is not that far, but try pushing 8 kids in a big buggy).

Since Jack is now one of the "big" kids, he got to ride on one of the buses to the hospital (all the way through the parking lot). We saw him as he was getting off the bus, and I think that was the highlight of his entire week. One of his teachers even told us the next day that she had never seen a kid so excited about a bus ride.

The kids were all there in the shirts that they had made at school. They all looked very cute. They sang three songs and helped countdown the lighting of the Chritmas tree. Lots of the hospital employees were on hand, as well as a few local news "celebrities". Gran, Gigi and even Sean came to see them perform. Jack did more performing than Ben. Ben ended up sitting with us. Overall it was very cute. I am sure it is just the first of many Christmas performances that we will be attending.
