This year with our zoo memberships, we bundled up and went to see “The Lights Before Christmas” with our friends, the Mills. Even though it was cold, the twinkling lights, musical show with dancing Alexander and family, excitement, festivities and togetherness made for a wonderfully happy-hearted family outing. Alexander’s excitement in seeing the sea of twinkles as we came out of the dining hall into the darkness was a memory we will never forget. Even Muma was super giddy and Papa his lighthearted goofy self. It was such an awesome sight and show, that we made a second trip with the grandparents the Sunday after Christmas, and we even found the large model train display we’d missed the first time around. What treasured moments of the holiday season at the spot of so many smiles throughout the year.
It was a sparkling memory indeed! I loved it when: Alex and Muma and Papa were swaying,jumping, and bouncing to the light show; we dined in the "cage"; and we looked over the train display – so cool! The extensive variety in the light display was indeed impressive. And what a blessing we were in the parking lot and not on the highway when my windshield wiper broke, and we had GPS to locate a store, and one was open, and I wasn't alone in the car. Praise God in great abundance!!
And what a special memory making evening it was. . .look so forward to doing it again next year when even Aidan will be more into the lights and all. . .God has so richly blessed you to have these two marvels to share life with. . .thanks for allowing us grndprnts to share in as many as possible. love gma, gpapa
