Christmas Trees, Candy Canes, and Carriage Rides

Last weekend, we met some of our nearby friends to welcome Santa Claus to town at the lighting of the Historic Norcross Christmas tree. I underestimated the cold and didn't have Caroline (or myself) properly bundled so everyone chipped in with extra blankets, gloves, and handwarmers to keep us warm!
It was still pretty frigid, though, so as soon as we had our pictures snapped with Santa, we made our way to the coffee house to warm up with hot chocolate and Cheerios.
There were some high school kids playing music, and Will was a big fan. He rushed the "stage" and was the center of attention on the "dance floor".
The next morning Will was still dancing (this time to the children's choir with Megan joining him) at our church's Candy Cane Breakfast.
After our family pictures,
we decided to get a picture of all the kids in our Sunday School class.
Hmm.
We finally decided we better include the adults for restraint purposes.
That evening we headed back to Historic Norcross for dinner and carriage rides with the Braley family. Once again, we ended up escaping the cold with hot chocolate at the coffee house.

wait a minute, you're in Norcross? That's fairly close to us - Woodstock. Why did I think you were somewhere South or SouthEast of Atlanta?
