Last night, our Family & the Hawxwell Family joined together to enjoy an evening of holiday lights at a local neighborhood.
The Princess was happy to adventure out with her buddy Reese and after I told her we'd be viewing the Christmas lights "hay-ride" style, she was even more merry. Hay ride equals the back of a Daddy's truck, minus the hay, add some blankets and tad bit of wind blowing through your hair.
Once we arrived to Ariana Village, the girls, Leah and I jumped in the back of Daddy's truck bed to tour the many elaborated light displays. Over 90% of the retired residents participate and the park even erects displays in the common ground area and clubhouse. It's a big production that draws large crowds.
We stopped at the club house to stretch our legs and walked around the beautiful and quite festive grounds.
The home owners were all so very friendly! In fact, two men who were seated around a fire pit toasting marshmallows, came up to our truck to give the girls a hot yummy white treat. It was a first for them both and definitely won't be the last. We plan on making s'mores Christmas night!
A tad bit blurry, but here's a pic of the nice neighbor bringing the girls toasted marshmallows.
Upon exiting the Village, we got to see Santa and Mrs. Claus. Skyler got super excited and started waving frantically!
Santa came up to the truck and gave the girls some candy and Mrs. Claus handed each of them a stuffed animal.
Skyler loves Santa!
Even us Mommies had a fun night!
Before heading home, we pulled into a near by shopping center so the girls could munch on a little picnic in the bed of the truck. They thought that was super cool!
One last hug before switching cars.
