Santa's Wonderland

So, we weren't going to go to this event because it costs money, but how could I resist? Lights, lights, lights. We took the kids. Pictures pending, okay, but boy did they have fun. Fake snow fell from the sky. Hot chocolate because we were dangerously close to 32F. I mean 63F at 6:00 in the evening is not a good sign for most Texans. Yes, we shivered our way past the bull ride and hay bales to the pony rides and petting zoo. I watched Georgie run up and down the gravel pathway and thought about her Grandpa Howell missing out on this. He would've loved to watch her run round and round in circles. Every time her foot touched something other than gravel she would stop, back up and then restart her circuit. We watched Reagan steal the show when she started to rock out in front of the audience that had gathered to listen to the singer who was crooning Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer. We watched Kate belt out the lyrics right along with him. All in all a successful night, only thing missing were extra family appendages to laugh along with us.
