Belle's Tree Lighting

Last weekend was full of Christmas celebrating! A Simple Wish hosted a tree lighting and holiday sing-along. The program I was given was stamped on the back, which earned Leila the opportunity to be the official tree lighter! She led the little girls in "Bippity, boppity, boo!" and then the trees glowed. After the tree lighting, the princesses sang, the crowd joined in for some numbers and then Santa arrived and read the girls and ONE boy a story. Lots of fun!

Leila is trying to convince her Dad to hang our Christmas tree upside down now! On a side note, we learned that evening that Christians originally displayed their trees upside down as a symbol of the Trinity. By the 12th century it was quite the custom. But then it was turned to point towards Heaven.
