Every year I try to take the kids (there was a time that it was only one...) to Christmas Village. They light it all up the Saturday after Thanksgiving. It's set up so cute with little buildings to look inside, and all the lights, and (of course), they have Santa! It helps to get into the Christmas mood! This year I was a little bah humbug, but at the last minute I grabbed my neighbor and we took my kids to see the lights. We were walking across the street to Christmas Village when the fireworks started! That was a first. I've never been there for the fireworks. We missed the parade, but got a show anyways.
And MAN was it cold outside! We never last very long in the cold. Kycen wouldn't keep his mittens on. He'd have me put them on, then take them right off. You'd think freezing fingers would force the child into keeping them on. But NOOO! Preslie on the other hand, would walk around in the cold forever and look at the lights and buildings, and be just fine. My feet were frozen! My face hurt! I'm sooo not a winter girl!
So much fun! I feel bad that we didn't make it back down before Christmas (or New Years for that matter), because the weather was much kinder the later in the month it got. We maybe would've enjoyed ourselves more...and by "we", I mean me!
