Last night we had the honor of delivering some food to a few refugee families here in town who attend our church. It always fascinates me to experience a different culture. Both families were very precious and so hospitable. The girls learned a few things while we were there too. What a great gift that experience was to our family. Thanks to Kelly for the great idea!
Next on the list for the night was Christmas Lane. The State School here in town puts this together each year and there are dozens of Christmas displays set up thanks to the sponsorship of local businesses. The one pictured here is one of my favorites. This is a tradition we started once we moved here and the girls cannot wait to go each year. I always look forward to it too;-)
At the end of all the Christmas displays is the main house where they have a concession stand, telephone booths to call the North Pole, some more Christmas displays, and most importantly Santa. We love taking our picture here each year because they let you use your own camera so you are sure to get a great picture. This was our first trip to see Santa this year so the girls had their lists all ready. Both girls actually talked to him this year so he definitely knows what Kaylee and Campbell want for Christmas. (On a side note: Why is it that each year after the shopping is done children always come up with one more toy that you knew nothing about? It is always a little random around our house.) This year Campbell has busted out with the fact that she wants a penguin. What?? We will have to see if Santa pulls that one off. We also were surprised to see several of our friends while we were there. Glad we were not the only ones making a last minute rush to fit it all in. After our visit with Santa we went around town looking at lights before returning home with two very tired girls.
