Lighting of the Lake

One of our friends told us about this FREE event at the local college. Santa, cookies, train ride were all promised and we were game! I got the girls dressed in their Christmas outfits. (They will be wearing these at any and all Christmas events because they are cute and we won't get to wear them for very long)



When we arrived we got right on the train with our sweet friends. Everyone was excited!





We saw a nice looking Santa in a sleigh with a REAL reindeer. Reese was very excited but as soon as Saige saw him she said "I want to go home! I'm not sitting on his lap!" I get that. I mean, strange man in strange clothes. But I thought we'd try. I told her I'd hold her and as soon as I got closer to him she lost it. We took one anyway! :) Her little screaming face reminds me of her newborn days.





We then found our way to the cookies, hot chocolate and a gingerbread man and yes he does have a mutstach :) The snow (foam machine) was so fun too!





We were able to watch some dancing and then the kids were invited to dance with the dance team. Reese and Claire thought that was very fun!! When we got home Reese put on black tights and requested a ponytail to be one of "Santa's Womens" LOL!





When the actual lighting happened there was a countdown 3,2,1...and they seriously lit like one stand in some bushes. It was very funny! The event itself was fun but they should call it something else. There really weren't any lights!!
