Festival of Lights

We've been attending the Festival of Lights at the Remington Center since it started.  The kids look forward to it every year.  This year we got a bit smarter (lazier) and didn't arrive until it was actually supposed to start (so we weren't standing out in the cold any longer than necessary).  We then stood by the doors instead of by the fires, so that as soon as Santa arrived and the lights turned on, we were some of the first into the building!  We ended up being about 4th in line for the kids to get their pictures taken with Santa Claus!  They moved his location this year and it worked out so much nicer than in the front lobby like other years.

 One of Emma's friends from school and her mom tagged along with us through the museum a bit and they got to play together for a bit.  We didn't want to be out too late with it being a school night, and we also didn't have extra cash for all the other activities, so we headed out by about 7:00pm.

 The kids loved the lights that were set to music this year.  They found the one snowbank and climbed it for a picture.  It was a great night and a fun tradition to continue.
