Indy Downtown Christmas Tree

So, I guess this is supposed to be the largest "christmas tree" in the nation, even though it's not a real tree... NYC must have the largest real tree. But it's over this Civil War Monument that they have downtown Indy. It was fun, and Ella loved to see the lights.

The whole plaza is decked out in lights and huge candy cane poles. There's always horse & carriage rides available that take you around downtown, and there's fun shops all around here as well. We stopped to get a bite to eat and warm up... it must've been like 20 degrees that night!

The monument is on this huge round-a-bout, and it just happened that this group of Mexican Dancers were doing a tribute dance all the way around it dressed in authentic costumes, in honor of the Saint of Guadalupe. They looked freezing to me, but it was fun to see.

Oh my goodness...looks like so much fun. I bet it is nice to have Scotty back. I bet that was a long 6 months. It's nice to have a break. I'm excited to see pics about the children museum but I have to admit I am much more excited that you are coming back soon. Love and miss you!!
