Christmas Anticipation

The Saturday before Christmas we planned a night of fun for the kids.  They are fairly easy to please at their current ages and we had a wonderful night of fun together!
 
The first thing on the agenda was stopping at the mall to visit Santa.  We didn't realize, however, that Santa takes an hour long break in the evening, so we were disappointed and had to promise to visit Santa a different day.  From there we drove to Fricanos to meet some of the cousins for dinner and then to Bronson Park to look at the lights!  I couldn't get the settings on my camera right, so here is the best picture from the park:

 
After the park we drove down Long Street to see the largest display of lights that we've seen anywhere- it was pretty impressive!  And then back home.

Once home the kids changed into jammies for a picture by the tree.

Caroline loves the tree- she sits and gently touches all of the ornaments for long stretches of time.

Then, after putting Caroline to bed, the rest of us snuggled on the couch with some Christmas candy to watch "How the Grinch Stole Christmas"  It was so much fun!

The boys ready for the movie!
