Celebration In Lights

On Sunday evening we told Ava that we had a surprise for her and we piled the kids into the car. After a short drive we arrived at the Celebration In Lights (ticket courtesy of Honey, thanks!). Ava was in awe. She said, "I cannot believe this!" and "Daddy, this is a nice surprise." She was genuinely thrilled about all the festive lights.

Before leaving the house we turned Linc's car seat around so that he could actually see the lights. This was his very first time facing forward in the car! He was pointing at everything saying, "See?!" I think he was most impressed by all the buttons on the dash. Unfortunately, by the time we arrived at the Celebration in Lights, Linc was on his way to dream land. He barely managed to stay awake during the drive through the lights - twirling his hair in both hands and sucking on his bottom lip.

TA DA! The Celebration In Lights!
