Christmas Tree Lighting at Scottish Rite!

 Will & Ellie were honored this week to light the giant Christmas tree at Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children!

R took part of the day off and we got dressed up and headed to Dallas for a fun night.

Will & Ellie along with Pete Lainey (former Speaker of TX House) counted down and pushed the big button to light up the tree.

Our little fam

 Lovie & Cookie joined us at the tree lighting

(Thanks for coming!)

 

 I get an annual photo of the kids in front of this tree- usually because we are there to see doctors.

It was fun to get a tree photo just for fun!

 I could not possibly be any more in love with these two.

Santa made an appearance!

(And check that off my list!  Don't think I'll be making a special trip to the mall for Santa thanks to running into him at the party at TSRHC.  Ellie is not a fan... don't care to stand in line and deal with kids' stares and pointing... so yay!  We saw Santa!  Here's proof:

Thanks to Becky, Jaqueline, and Ruth Ann (all from TSRHC PR dept) for asking Will & Ellie to light the tree.

We are honored & had so much fun!

 Before we enjoyed the dinner and party, Ellie practiced her walking & showed off to some friends

 And Becky taught Will a new fist bump -

he thinks it is very cool.

(Becky - your face cracks me up here. :))

Thanks, Scottish Rite, for asking Will & Ellie to kick off the Christmas season with the tree lighting!

What a fun experience at one of our favorite places- we are honored!
