In early December the Holmes family joined us for an evening at the Garden of Lights, a walk through light display at a nearby garden. It was a frigid evening for being outdoors (especially for our Texan-born friends), but we toughed it out and enjoyed the evening together and the amazing light displays.
One thing that made the cold temperatures more bearable was the indoor train display.
Every year a local train club sets up these trains for display in the Conservatory of the gardens during the light festival.
It's always fun to see how they create new scenes from year to year.
The kids were fascinated for quite some time. Either that or they just liked being warm.
After we left the train displays, we took in some more lights outside and then headed home to warm up.
We enjoyed hot cocoa, cookies and popcorn.
Then the adults played a game while the kids
alternated between playing together and raiding the popcorn bowl.
Oh FUN! I wish I'd known this was going on...I would have taken the boys.
