I know, I know. Little late on the posting here. But, I just had to! This was a really fun little outing the girls and I did one morning, and, I did Holly's hair and she wore a dress I had just given her. Triumph! Christmas in the Park is done each year in downtown San Jose (about 10 minutes from where we live). This is the first time we went. There's lots of performances and Santa Claus, but because we went there on a quiet morning mid-week there was nothing happening. There's a ton of different Christmas displays and who knows how many hundreds of trees decorated by all sorts of local groups (scouts, schools, we even saw one done by a Relief Society). There's false snow on the ground and a station that periodically blows fake snow. Hilarious, but the kids were crazy about it! We're a touch snow obsessed at our house. I'm sure Christmas in the park is gorgeous lit up at night. There was also a winter carnival on a cross street, so we walked up and down that. I let Holly have one ride (for $3.50 - ouch!), and she chose the tea cups. And then, at the end we bought a bag of popcorn. It was a really lovely morning spent with my girls! I'm always grateful when we have a day where I feel like we've done something special and solidified some memories.
