Just a couple of miles from our house is a nice big outdoor mall where they put up lots of lights at Christmas time. We headed over one Saturday night with a bunch of other MBA families so that the kids could say hello to Santa. I don't remember what the temperature was, but it was cold. So cold, in fact, that Ben suggested we put the kids in their snowsuits. I thought that was overkill, but I went along with it. Boy am I glad we did! We ended up being there for about 2 hours and were grateful for any warmth we could find! So of course we all enjoyed the little fire pits scattered around the mall.
After waiting in line for a little while, the kids got to meet Santa. The big ones asked for their particular Christmas wishes. (Cat - a scooter, Jack - The Polar Express. Hmm.... I don't know if a full-size steam engine will fit under our little ugly tree.) Eliza just, um, cried.
Pretty lights!

our turn on the free carriage ride!
Looking back at the lights at the mall during our little 8-minute carriage ride.
We looked at the pretty lights and sang Christmas songs with our friends during the carriage ride, then RAN to the car and CRANKED UP the heat. What a fun (COLD) night!
