The whole family went to Candle Light Christmas at Heritage Park (across from Hogle Zoo) and had a great time. If you have kids, it is a great place to go. There are crafts (button ornaments, christmas spider, christmas hearts, etc) that each child can make. There is a puppet show and an old fashion barn dance where you line up, clap your hands, dosey-doe and dance down the middle of others clapping their hands. There is a live...and I mean live...nativity with Joseph and Mary surrounded by a cow, donkey and lambs. The baby in the manger was not live though...too cold for babies. There was a train that took us to Father Christmas where the families had their pictures taken with Santa. His sleigh and (real) reindeer were outside the house. When Logan came out from seeing Santa, he said, "That wasn't the real Santa." I said, "How do you know?" He said, "Because he had brown shoes on and not black boots!" Here are some pictures: Here are some of the guys--

It was Brion and Lexie's turn to dance down the aisle while we all clapped.

We really had a great time. I didn't get pictures of Clay, Kim and Spencer, but Clay wasn't feeling very good and so they didn't stay long. That happens when you have little ones. Anyway, if any of you are looking for something fun to do this season, the Candle Light Christmas is one of our favorite activities!!
