We've Seen the Lights!

Every year at Christmas it is a family tradition of ours to go see the lights at Thanksgiving Point via Horse Drawn Carriage. This year was no different other than we invited some friends to tag along with us, 35 of them could make it! It was so much fun to be on a wagon where you knew everyone there. We attempted to sing Christmas carols together but it didn't last long. The kids loved the lights and having their friends around them. Ethan said his favorite was "the Karate Chop Santa". After we went through the lights we had Hot Chocolate and Donuts. So much fun! Note from the Editor: Aaron was in charge of taking pictures...sorry...there were others there with us besides the ones in the pictures...shout out's to: Brad, Lori, Blake, Ryan, Camille, Ryan, Jamie, Carter, Rylee, Marie, Becky, Paul, Melody, Noah, Andrea, Dave, Madisen, Sydney, Camille, Mike, Rebecca, and I think that is it!! Ethan enjoying the lights, I don't know what is up with his hat! He was in Heaven having Ryan and Blake by his side.Emilee, sitting on her favorite spot...Becky's lap... She loved being right by the horses.

Rebecca, Garth, Lily and Ashley...oh and their OTHER son Ethan, I don't know why he is in the picture and not their REAL son Ryan?!? Tyra and Randy, I don't know where their kids are but they were there too!
Hot Chocolate and Donuts After...Hit the spot! Both Aaron and I are so grateful to our many friends that we have around us. We are very blessed to live where we do and have the support system we do. If you get a chance to go see the lights, it is a Holiday must!!

thanks, Had NO idea our picture got taken. That was so much fun thanks for the fun adventure. When we left Ezra kept saying "Lights, Lights" But alas, I was cold so the fun ended.

That looks like so much fun! I wish we could have come! All I'm going to say about that is, you're all glad that I didn't. Next year--count us in!
