A Night of Lights

A couple of nights ago we took the kids to a really neat park that has an annual Night of Lights Festival and Holiday town. We got there just in time for the parade. Paxton was really excited to see the Coca Cola Bear, a Gingerbread Man, Bob and Larry from Veggies Tales and of course Santa! We ate dinner at this cute little kitchen where they throw really yummy rolls at you, Paxton only dropped his once! I think he was so surprised they were actually throwing food and it was ok, that he didn't know what to do with it. After dinner we rode the holiday train. On the train we sang Christmas Carols and stopped to watch a show called "the Gift" which was all about Jesus' birth. The train also went past tons of light displays including the twelve days of Christmas. Following the freezing train ride, oh did I mention it was an open air train, we watched a holiday laser show and saw some fireworks. Oops, I almost forgot to mention Lorelei's favorite part of the evening, the Snow Angel or Princess as Lorelei likes to call her. It's amazing that even at 20 months she is fascinated with Princesses. She stared this one down and would not take her eyes off her. She even went to get her picture taken with her, Paxton refused to go. The snow angel usually makes it "snow" every year, but alas, water restrictions would not allow a snowfall around here!! Anyway, it was fun family Christmas evening. Unfortunately, mommy got very very ill after we got home and has been stuck in bed for two days, thus the reason for the delayed post! Thanks to Grandmama and Daddy for being great subs!!

All bundled up waiting for the parade to begin.

Baby Snow Angel!

Handsome man!

Lorelei and the Snow Angel. Lorelei would not let go of her wand after the picture. I had to pry it out of her hands.
