winter wonderlights

The Carlson's invited us for a fun night of pizza and Christmas lights. It has been far too long since we've seen them and the girls were thrilled to see their buds. Annabelle was shocked to see how big Ben has grown, but still calls him 'Baby Ben'.

It's hard to believe 'Baby Ben' is going to be a year old in just over a week!

Gwyneth, my sweet girl!

After dinner we headed to the Wildlife Experience, where Keith graciously hooked us up with tickets to the Winter Wonderlights! Annabelle and Jack held hands walking in, Gwyneth danced the night away with her daddy, and Ben got a nice ride in his stroller. It was a wonderful time! This was our second year attending with the Carlson's and I really hope we keep up the tradition next year.

It may be hard to tell, but my baby girl had a GREAT time.

I was just complaining we don't have many family pictures and look at that - two in one weekend!

The girls loved the lights. Thanks so much Keith, for the tickets. You made their night!

Ben has the best seat in the house. He was all smiles and cheeks in his cute little snowcoat.

After the lights we explored the new, and old favorite, exhibits at the museum.

The girls were starting to melt down near the end since it was getting close to bedtime. Gwyneth fell asleep on the car ride home, but Annabelle sang the entire way! What a fun, festive night. Let the Christmas countdown begin...
