Last night we went to our annual starlighting event. It is the coolest thing ever. Earlier in the day Todd joined the Castle Rock band at the library bandstand for an hour long concert. Then we took a town trolley over to the festivities. There are lots of booths sponsored by many churches including our own. They pass our free cookies, hot cider and provide carolling. One church even has a live nativity with real animals. As it gets darker the crowds gather to the city and county building and there is a short presentation before Santa comes and lights up the star on top of the Castle Rock. Then there are fireworks!! It is such fun! This year Brandon brought a friend and we met up with some other friends of our too. The weather was perfect the whole evening - just jacket weather. We have been there other years when it was frigid.
Speaking of traditions Todd and I went on Thursday night to a High School play of Fiddler on the Roof. One of the young men from our ward played Tevye (sp). It was awesome! Brandon also enjoys watching the kids for some extra cash.
