A little town just down the road puts on an outstanding light festival each year. It is so well organized and there are probably millions of lights! There are college logos, animals, several nativity scenes, nutcrackers, Santa on an alligator, a man pumping real water, and even a flamingo or two!This week, our little flock made the trek down to explore the walk thru exhibit and we were all impressed! The kids even got to decorate cookies. It was a great time of family fun!
Jason was out of town, so GPop went with us. What an extra treat! :)
The flock... can you tell that it is about 75 degrees outside? Some of us wore long sleeves out of spite and then sweated all night. Gotta love Texas!
The mommas by our favorite bird...
The kids by the carriage...
Every year our city's fire truck drives Santa through the neighborhoods with the full siren blaring. Everyone runs out onto their driveway and waves to Santa. The COULD NOT have been more thrilled! You can hear the siren for several streets and the anticipation was killing them!
And last, but not least... SNOW!!! At least for a few hours! A local church put on the coolest event last weekend. They brought in an ice company who created snow for our sub-tropical town...and it all was free!

They tried to make snow angels, but it was too packed to do.
Jacob kept slipping and sliding, but he did not care one little bit! This was pure FUN for both of the boys!
Jacob's favorite part was the sledding. They had two hills - a 7 foot and a 9 foot. We did the 7 footer and it was awesome. You could only ride once, but it was worth the wait. Here's Rylan...hair flying, squeal squealing and enjoying the slippery slope!
Seriously, could his smile BE any bigger?!?! Jacob LOVED, LOVED, LOVED, sledding! Maybe someday we'll get to really sled! :)
We've also been baking and crafting, but that's all for another time. On that note, I'll leave you with my new favorite cookie recipe... Merry Christmas!
