Haute Holiday Happenings...

What a lovely evening to spend with my family! Tonight was the 2nd annual "Miracle on 7th Street" here in the Haute. After only hearing about it by chance, on the fly (like within 1 1/2 of the thing starting), Cary and I made our game plan and headed for the festivities.

First thing we did was watch Santa light the lovely tree at Crossroads Circle. (to whom it may concern...I'd kinda like to have a Haute Christmas tree re-do. Colored lights? No. No star/angel/tree topper? Needs one. And how about a giant unbreakable ornament or two? On the cheap? No one ever picked up our leaves as promised, so there has to be SOME unspent cash in the budget? And maybe can we throw in some Christmas Music and a Santa that...well...LOOKS like Santa? The Clabber Girl Santa is fab...)

After the tree lighting we zipped over to the Indiana Theater (an old favorite of mine, and even more beautiful with holiday decor) to hear the Terre Haute Childrens Choir sing beautiful carols. Nice!

We continued our trek through downtown, passing by the Swope, through the marketplace and by the Childrens Museum we ventured to Clabber Girl for some cookie decorating and treats. McKinley LOVED decorating his cookie and could not get enough sprinkles!

After Clabber Girl we walked back to the downtown boutiques and shops (which was like cookie decorating to me!). As we wrapped up our evening snow began lightly falling, promising a beautiful show in the morning. It was the perfect way to end the night!

Way to go Haute!

Next weekend, Clabber Girl Country Christmas!
