Boston Tree Lighting

Nicholas and I went into Boston with some neighbors tonight for the tree lighting.  We apparently got there too late to see Santa, but we did see the huge tree as well as a bunch of smaller ones, listened to a few different bands (for a couple songs each), and ate dinner in Quincy Market.

I knew we would have fun because we absolutely love our neighbors, but I didn't expect the tree lighting itself to be so cool. I didn't take video myself (because as you can see above, I had my hands a little full), but there is of course already video up on youtube. We were much closer than the person who took the video, but off to the side a little. Nicholas absolutely loved it! He described it as the tree "dancing" to the music.  And I have to admit to being impressed myself.  It helps that my expectations were pretty low; I assumed they would just plug it in and it would go from off to on.

I am hoping to have an update post later with more pictures because Clair's camera is much fancier than mine and therefore able to handle the crappy lighting conditions of 4:00-6:30 in November in New England.
