Festival Of Lights

Friday night we went on our annual visit to the Festival Of Lights. Oliver said that this is his favorite holiday tradition and I love to hear that!  This is one of my favorites because we usually go just the four of us and it is very laid back.  We do a lot of talking while we walk around and check out all of the stuff and I love the time together during this crazy time of year!

Me and my guy waiting in the line to see Santa!

Our annual "waiting in ling to see Santa" selfie.  This always take like 45 minutes to an  hour but I have to say that it is one of my favorite parts.  This is where we chat away.  We talk about school, work, friends, past holidays, etc.  We always get a little silly and we always have fun while we wait.

My 7th grade love.  She is such a great girl and she still wants to spend some time with us and I will take what I can get!

SANTA!

My favorite people (Santa included).

 I love that they still have fun with me!

 Sometimes even I get in the picture!

 Of course Oliver made a hockey snowman!

 The Christmas Tree Village!  They changed things up a bit but it was still really pretty!

Somehow stopping at Mighty Taco on the way home has become a family tradition!  We are usually a Moe's family but for some reason we go here every year after the festival.  We always sit at the same table and have some of the best conversations ever. This year we discussed OJ Simpson and the trial lol.  

I absolutely love this time of year but it can get really busy and really crazy!  I love the Festival Of Lights because as much as I love the hustle and bustle and all of the visiting with family and friends, it is really nice to just grab my favorites and spend the evening together!
