NSA Naples Tree Lighting 2016

We officially kicked off the holiday season on base Friday afternoon.  Chris has been bubbling with excitement the past few weeks keeping a big surprise about the tree lighting top secret.

As a few sprinkles of rain fell, this guy was looking to the heavens and saying a few prayers!

Let's go, Mom!

Soon it was time to light the tree.
Chris thinks he hears Santa talking to him...

Santa is here!

Santa, are you ready to hit the lights?

I have to give credit to AFN for this awesome picture. Only Chris Kasparek could figure out a way to make it snow in Naples at the exact moment the tree was lit. :)

Mel and me :)
