My sister called us in the middle of our dinner to say we had to hurry to go see the Capitol Christmas Tree before it got too dark. She'd heard it was in a truck and we could look through a little window to see it.
It's a small town here so of course we jumped at the chance for a little excitement,
even if it was to just look through a little window at an 88 foot Christmas tree in a truck.
There were two trucks in the parking lot of the mall. One with 80 trees for the
White House and another truck (with two windows) holding the Capitol Christmas tree.
The tree was cut in Washington State
The big truck with windows and a crowd catching a glimpse
My hubby peering in the window with my brother-in-law watching him
That's the tree with some lights and a few decorations visible
Ooooo, look! A Starbucks snowman with a cup of hot chocolate
(or maybe some coffee)
The trucks were beautifully painted!
The hood ornament leading the way
People got to write their names on the truck
I wrote my name...I should have written Just Let Me Quilt...dang!
I got talked into this and then my husband kept saying, "Get lower."
Hahaha...much lower and it would have taken some strong guys to help me up.
I did it, so he had to do it!
After all the excitement, we went home to finish our dinner.
Small town events can be pretty fun!
