This weekend was filled with Christmas Fun. On Saturday, Misty (my sister) and I started the morning off with a little shopping. Wow, that was an ordeal! I didn’t realize how spoiled I had gotten since I do most of my shopping during the week when most people are at work. None the less, it was fun to go have some girl time with just the two of us. We then came back to the house, fed the family and all loaded up in the car to head to Wimberley for the Tour of Lights. It’s basically a six acre outdoor theatre that is decorated all along a walking trail. They had a campfire for the kids (and the kid in me) to roast marshmallows and hotdogs. Some local groups provided live entertainment on the two stages. There was a music garden where the kids could express their musical talents and a life size chess board. Then, not to mention all the lights! The best part about the whole evening that it was 100% free to the public. Donations were accepted, but businesses sponsor the hot dogs and such each evening, so that all may come and enjoy the evening. It was a good opportunity to teach the kids about Christmas and the season of giving.
On Sunday, we went to church to watch the Children’s Christmas Program. Dalton was technically old enough to be in the program this year. However, we elected to just let him watch this year. It requires several evening practices and we just weren’t sure how much time we could commit with Addie. He enjoyed the program and looks forward to taking part next year. After church we headed over to Bass Pro to see Santa and his reindeer. Unfortunately, the setup was different this year and the reindeer were MIA. Dalton still had a great time playing with all the toys they had set up for the kids. He was able to do some target practice, watch some model trains and climb in and out of a few tents. At least we know that last year’s camping adventure hasn’t completely turned him off of camping. We are looking forward to a few trips hopefully this spring.
