Lights, camera, trains?

I figured I'd better blog about this before Christmas gets here and it's too outdated to post!  Friday night, (you remember, when our temps were around 75) we decided it was great weather for walking around a local town square that really decks the halls!


AJ, Little Lion, and Little Pumpkin ~ this wall was a huge hit . . . the kids loved walking on it.  In fact Little Lion made some friends with some teens who were hanging out on the wall.  (He was asking them to move so he could get by them.  Later they he sat with them and ended up with a free bag of popcorn.  Such a Rico Suave!)

We saw a sign for train rides ~ and we were there!  Unfortunately when you live deep in the south, this is what you get for free!  *wink*  Yes, that a lawn mower (not even a tractor) pulling some little trailers with toy cars, a wheel barrow and a wagon!

Hey, the kids loved it.  We even came back to it later!  Once the Z family joined us.  Brazilians ~ always late!  *smile*  (It's okay to say that, they say it too!)

Mr. M with his GQ pose!  I think Little Pumpkin was copying or maybe mocking him!  

All the kids loved the displays!  This one was a hit ~ it's actually the 4-H display of a barn with animals in front of it.  We put our animals in it!  

They wanted to check out the nativity display up close!  It was such a great evening that we walked the blocks instead of driving around!  



This is my favorite display.  They have it up every year, it plays many songs.  Too neat.  I'm not sure how old it is, but you can tell it's been around for a while!

Don't worry people, Monday we didn't get past 34!  Let's just say we've had some highs and lows in the weather department recently!  *smile*

  5. What a great night. Looks like everyone was having a great time. So jealous. I am so ready for some warm weather. The snow and rain is fun for a while, but after while it gets a little old.

  6. The train is adorable. How clever. I'm sure the kids loved it. The bells are very cool too. I think I would stand there a long time enjoying htat. I think the nativity looks a little weird without snow. I just would have a hard time getting used to Dec. with no snow. It is funny that I would think that since I son't think it does snow in Bethlehem?!

  7. How fun...looks like you all had a great time! We had some crazy weather in MO too by the way. For the first several days we were there the highs hovered around a frigid 7 degrees! Then by the time we left it was in the 60's! Strange! Anyway...see you tomorrow night!
