Last Friday night Howie, my Mom and I took all of my nieces and nephews to A Candlelight Christmas at This Is The Place Heritage Park. The kids absolutely LOVED it! Just look at all the fun they had...
They had every house lit up with Christmas lights and inside they got told a different story about why we do different Christmas traditions. Like why we hang a stocking by the fireplace, etc. We told the kids there would be a train ride and they could
not wait to go on it. We walked up one row of houses and they were bugging us the whole way "When do we get to ride the train??" We finally got on the train ride and then they were all complaining about how cold it was! Haha, oh well. You can't always win when it comes to kids. One of the houses had 5 different crafts for the kids to do. I made a Christmas Spider. There was a story they told in one house about why we hang a spider from the Christmas Tree(?). We never did that growing up, but far be it for me to deny anyone else the fun of doing it. We now have our very own Christmas Spider.
They had a live Nativity Scene to go and see, too. I felt so bad for Mary and Joseph because it was SO cold!
To top the night off, the kids got to watch a puppet show about Angels. They laughed through-out it because one of the angels kept accidently eating their halo. It kept falling off the puppets head and going into it's mouth. It was quite comical. We headed over to my Mom's house afterwards for some hot chocolate. Perfect ending to such a fun day!
