Festival of Lights 2009











The girls, Troy and I and gammy went to the Festival of Lights last night. It was a cold night so we bundled all up and headed off for some holiday cheer. The lights were great as usual and we then made a stop into Santa's Village for some fun! Harper rode the carousel two times- once on a horse and once on a tiger!! She could have ridden it all night I do believe. And Adley- yep you guessed it- just slept like the little angel she is! She slept that is until an unruly dog growled in her little ear while we were waiting in line to see Santa.
I had the brilliant idea to go look at Santa and just say hello because I truly thought Harper would be way too scared to consider sitting on his lap. But of course, I was mistaken. So, we got in line just in time for Santa to take his break!! Ugh! Harper and I got marshmallows for her to roast and Troy bought her popcorn as bribery for going home (which did not work). We waited for one hour and fifteen minutes and it was worth every single minute!! She told us she was going to ask Santa for decorations (????), lights, piece of gums, and a toy to play with. EASY ENOUGH SANTA! Then she got up there, and said nothing. She just kept this silly grin on her face and sat there like a little statue. Adley- usually the chill one- screamed and cried when we sat her on his lap! All in all it was a perfect night and one I'll never forget. I mean- this Santa had gammy and I really questioning whether or not he was real- INCREDIBLE!!
