Christmas Lights

We spent a fun filled evening in Irvine Park last night.  During the Christmas season the park is transformed into a winter wonderland, filled with sparkling lights and beautiful little holiday displays (its hard to believe that we have seen wild animals in the same park over the summer).  It was the absolute perfect winter night for it; 25 degrees and calm little snowflakes sprinkling down on us.  The girls loved trudging through the snow to see what was next - Santa, Rudolph, Baby Jesus.  Hadley made her first snow angel of the season, Piper squealed with delight as we wedged her snowsuited body into a swing, and Hadley got to experience the thrill (or scare!) of going down a slide in the winter with slippery snow pants on (just a few tears).  And after all that, we ended the evening just as I had as a kid... with an ice cream cone (Missed you Michael & Nathan)!  I know, seems too cold for that in the winter, but I think the girls would agree, it was a perfect end to our family weekend.
