Christmastime in Beantown

Last night we bundled up, put MacKenzie's Christmas scarf on her (her scarf is blowing in the wind in the photo posted above) and headed out to see all of the lights and cheer that Boston had to offer.
The tree at Boston Common was quite big and pretty!
The Frog Pond in the Common gets converted into an ice rink during the holiday season. It was so fun to watch all of the people fall. :) They were slamming into the wall like it was nothing. Oh man. It was hilarious. I might be a bad person for enjoying that so much. Oops. :)
It was actually pretty crowded because it was a balmy (for Boston in December) 37 degrees last night.
The view from the government center plaza looking down to the Faneuil Hall area.
This is one of my favorite Boston photos ever. We LOVE that clock tower and the tree looks so pretty!
Jackson and MacKenzie by the Quincy Market/ Faneuil Hall tree. It was HUGE! I do not think it was much smaller than the one at Rockefeller center and I preferred their choice of all white lights here compared to the colored lights in NYC.
AH! I LOVE IT!
The Quincy Market area is one of the best parts of Boston. Period.
The Christmas tree outline at the Boston Harbor Hotel. The BHH is the only 5 star hotel in Boston. (I learned that on a tour of Boston and like to share that fact whenever possible for some reason.)

We had a nice 6 mile walk around the city pretending to be tourists! :) I love Christmastime!
