Lights...Camera...

This past weekend we decided to take the family out cruising to look at Christmas lights.  Luckily, we live just 20 minutes away from a fabulously impressive 100 acre light display that is free of charge and has been growing steadily for the last 15 years.  We visited a friend's Christmas party and filled our bellies before piling in our car and heading out to cruise.  The line was a bit longer then I would have liked, in fact from begining to end it took us almost an hour due to the traffic back ups...but the children were all so impressed with the displays that it made it worth it. (but for the record, we have gone on a week night before and next time, I think we will do a week night again).  

We all voted on our favorite display, the fire breathing dragon in the midst of the pond was my 3 year old's favorite because we just finished watching "How to Train Your Dragon II," My teenager and I both liked the 12 days of Christmas display which had numbers and a picture to go with each of the days of the song (kind of like hints that you had to figure out).  We tried to sing the whole song while driving by so it was quite loud and fast... but memories were being made here.

We all decided that Santa's workshop was the most elaborate:

The reindeer and whales were very creative:

We all liked the manger scene:

Then there was this...

He reminded me of a Dr. Suess elephant.  

As we all laughed and chatted on the way home and discussed our favorite displays, I was reminded that sometimes making family memories is just in the simplicity of togetherness.
