Trail of Lights

Riding the bus and drinking some hot cocoa on our way back from Zilker Park.
Sweet cousins Logan & Justin
The BIG tree of lights in front of the park. The boys kepts ways "wow mommy, wow!!"
Spencer admiring the big tree.
Playing "Ring Around the Rosey" inside the tree. They were quite dizzy when they were finished!



Justin & Sarah
My double cousin Lisa!! (Our moms are married to brothers. Does that make sense??)
Daddy, Grandma and the boys walking the trail of lights.

Watching and participating with the dancers on stage.



Gotta love Kettle Corn!! (Beautiful mother and daughter!!)
Sisters!! (My Aunt Barbara and my mother.)
Over the holiday, we had the chance to go down to Austin to visit some of my wonderful family. We wanted to do something festive together, so we headed downtown to Zilker Park to see the Trail of Lights. Most light shows that I have been to in the past, I have had to stay in my car and drive through it. But, this was fun because you actually park your car, (or ride the bus from the mall like we did, ) and walk around Zilker Park to view the lights. It was actually a very pretty night and just perfect for this fun event. It was great spending time with my aunt and cousins, since I don't get to see them often. We had a great night full of many laughs, beautiful lights, scrumptious kettle corn & warm hot cocoa!! It was a great start to Christmas and something I want to continue doing in years to come! (Hope to see you guys REAL soon. Love you!!)

Great pictures - hard to believe that Sarah is that grown up.
I did not know you could walk at Zilker Park -- something to keep in mind for next year. CD
