We went to Arlington Heights' Tree Lighting tonight, an annual tradition. :-)
It was the shortest ceremony they've ever held: the speeches started at 4:45 pm and the lights were on by 5:15. There were no chants of "Light The Tree!" coming from the crowd, probably because the temperature was in the upper 40s.
This followed a day downtown at my office with the girls. Becka decorated a little tree (Lisa's former Chick Pad tree) for my office, and Emma diligently finished her homework before surfing the net.
We finished decorating our tree tonight, so now we're all set for the holidays.
Almost.
