We went down to the Lighting of Riverwoods tonight! We saw thousands of lights, heard lots of Christmas music, saw big fireworks, and . . . . sat on Santa's lap!
Andlie; LOVED sitting on Santa's lap! It was because of her that she & Daddy stood in line for 40 minutes so we could get the chance. She wanted it that bad. She could hardly contain herself when we got to the front of the line. Like jumping & squealing excitement! She told him she wanted "lots of surprises." After we were done with him, she jumped up and down (of course I joined her) and squealed about how proud she was of herself & how the elves had better get busy making her surprises!
Haze: Didn't seem to want to stand still in a long line, so me & him went on a walk. We tried to go in the toy store, but because of people traffic, pretty much went in the front door & walked right through the store to the back door where we exited. He really loved watching the Nutcracker dancers on the stage. I put him on my shoulders so he could see and he was mesmerized. Every time I would put him down, he'd ask, "Can I see the dancers, pees?" Once Andlie & Daddy called & said we were getting close to Santa, we headed over. Haze didn't cry & scream about Santa, but he wasn't so sure of the idea either.
After Santa, we went home & changed to jammies & then came back for fireworks! And they did not disappoint! We got a good seat by a warm fire & enjoyed the giant display as a family - all with big smiles on our faces! Welcome, holiday season!!
