Weekend at the Beach

Every year we go to the beach after Thanksgiving. It is one of my favorite traditions. Our small beach town has a wonderful little tree lighting ceremony and the community center as crafts. The people all remember us, and we remember them, and it everything you love about a small town. My favorite store there gives you 25% off if you sing a holiday carol...except for Jingle Bells. This year my parents came and our friends - Frances's BFF, who she is going to marry and be in the same "police and fireman house" came over for the tree lighting. Frances went as a policeman...and arrived to see a real-life policeman...JACKPOT. Maggie was petrified of Santa...so we call got in the picture.
