For months I have been anticipating this day. First Friday in Camas is filled with fun things to do, but the December First Friday is always the Hometown Holiday Celebration with a tree lighting ceremony, and Santa, and shops open late and other fun stuff. I planned on it all week and when Friday rolled around I kept wondering what it was I was supposed to be remembering.
Around 6:00pm I remembered. Then we rushed over to Camas.
We missed the lighting of the tree, but there was plenty of fun to be had.
(Hannah didn't want her picture taken for some reason. . .)
Signe and I sat in on story time while Rob waited in line to see Santa.
(had I realized we were going to see Santa when we left the house I might have done something about their outfits. . . but this really is more accurate anyway)
We milled about in the street with the crowds, listening to local school bands and kids choirs singing Christmas music. It was pretty magical. Next year I will put it on my phone with an alarm. Perhaps then I will not forget!
As the night came to an end, the wind picked up and made it feel a little like winter. . . so we stopped off at Panera Bread for a little something to warm us up.
Movie of the night: The Santa Suit. I give it a 6 (Mostly because it had Santa magic in it--I go for less magic of the Santa variety, but this one was pretty good despite that).
