Festivities

Last night the kids and I picked Justin up from work and had ourselves a little festive fun. We hoped the rain would let up while we wandered through the holiday lights at the botanical gardens, but we weren't so lucky. Thankfully it was free night so we felt ok rushing our way through it. It is a beautiful, unique display.

Katie hitched a ride with Dad (Oh, how I love a man in a bjorn!)



Next stop was snowflake lane. We found a great spot in front of the cheesecake factory's outdoor heaters to watch the show. The girls danced around while we waited for the show to begin.

The girls warmed up the stand for our own drummer boy

Various characters walk around while drummers play holiday music. We had a whole bunch of characters in our area.


The girls posed with the polar bear


And the super-tall soldier (though I noticed he didn’t look THAT tall when he was standing next to Justin)

Jason wanted nothing to do with them. However as we got in the van afterward he was saying how much he liked the mouse (the same mouse he hid from when it came our way)

And we could've guessed that he would spend most of the evening doing this.

Katie seemed to really enjoy it (in spite of it being way past her bedtime).


We didn't get out of there till almost 8pm so the evening was made even more special (for the kids) by getting an ultra-late dinner at McDonalds drive-thru.

We sure love spending time with these kids!
