The Beginning of the Christmas Season

Raye(sister-in-law) is always trying to find things to do around Omaha when we come visit. A tradition of Omaha is that on Thanksgiving night, the lights at the Jene Leahy Mall will light up. Even though we lived 25 minutes south of Omaha for 10 years, we never made a trip up to see the lights in downtown Omaha. Probably because we would often be out of town for Thanksgiving. Now that we moved away, we have family/friends to visit in Omaha. We found a great spot to stand and waited patiently for the Christmas lights turn on.

It was a little chilly Thanksgiving night. Notice A. and his over-sized fleece. He had to borrow Uncle Danny's jacket. It worked to keep him warm.

I ran into my good friend, Amber, from G-Wood while walking on the paths. I was calling her on my phone and there she was, right infront of me walking. After a quick visit, we took the kids to the big slide to go down.
