Christmas Tree Lane 2009

Every year as a child and most of my adulthood my mom or dad took me down Christmas Tree Lane. I think we took Jackson down for his first Christmas, but can't really remember. Last year we weren't here for the walk down, but I do know that we did drive down the Clovis Christmas Lane.

So this year being that we have been here in Fresno for the last 3.5 months, we got to do it! Jackson would get excited over the smallest house lit up before Christmas, so I figured he would love this.

The tradition started in 1920 with the decoration of a single tree in memory of a child who died. It is also is one of the longest-running holiday events nationwide and 2009 was it 87th Anniversary! Fresno's Christmas Tree Lane has also made the Washington Post as a holiday tradition!

Here is Jackson standing in front of one of the million decorations!


He is totally digging the Santa thing this year!
Well, this is definitely the start to a good Christmas!
