santa comes to town

with the christmas season approaching, we knew ledger would be all about it.  allegan, being the amazing town that it is, of course had a special event downtown where they had a ceremonial lighting of the christmas tree.  and would you know it, guess who was coming by for the special event?  why, santa himself was planning to be there!
we headed down for the late night parade (because, again, allegan is amazing and has late night parades!) where ledger even found some of his school friends to play with.
after the parade we headed down to the plaza by the river and gathered around for the lighting.  santa was kind enough to invite the kids over to sit on his lap and let him know what they want for christmas.
it was truly a magical evening, but really, at this point that's what we've come to expect from our little amazing town!
