Our first annual Christmas lights in pj's trip

I know it's the new year and Christmas was last year!  But just pretend with me that it's just before Christmas and we are eagerly awaiting to celebrate it. 
Every year I try to continue our family traditions and also try to add a new one here and there.  This year, we added one- going to look at Christmas lights in our pj's!  Actually, the girls were in their pj's and Chad and I were in our robes (with our clothes undereath!).  He was a little hesitant at first, but got into it once we were out and we had so much fun! 




We have a place near our house that has a drive thru lights
display and it is so beautiful and fun to see!  So that's where
we started.






Candy cane time!


After leaving Sherwood Forest, we drove aroud
looking at decorated houses.  V knew of a place
that was all "decked out" so we went there next!

This place was awesome!
There wasn't a spot on the front lawn that
wasn't covered and they even had a path
through the middle of their lawn to walk through!


Chad was a little hesitant (again) about
leaving our truck to walk around the house
but as you can see, he quickly got over that! 

What a good daddy!

We even met Santa there!


Now we're off to Chik-Fil-A for
chicken nuggets and peppermint shakes!


We thought about going inside to order but I was
the one who chickened out and picked the drive-thru!




Mission complete!
Now it's off to home to watch 2 of my favorite
Christmas movies- Elf and Christmas with the Kranks!

We had such a great time we
can't wait to do it again next year!
