oh, you don't know where there is, do you? well, it is the zoo christmas light display, of course. they put up millions of lights- some are even set to music. it is very beautiful... and cold.but when we first got there we had to stop and look at the trains:
bean loves the model train set up. i don't think it was as cool as it was in past years (they moved it to a smaller building) but bean didn't seem to mind. she loves watching the trains go by. they have buttons the kids can press that animate things around the trains too- figure skaters on a pond, the fire engine comes out of the fire station, etc. we finally had to drag her back out into the cold so that we can see the lights! :)i figured sprout would fall asleep and/or not pay much attention to what was going on but i was wrong. he stayed awake the whole time, looking and watching carefully. i think he was kinda enjoying the lights (especially the ones that moved!)
i made sure daddy took a shot of me and the kids. it ain't the best, but it'll do. ;)
bean really liked these balls of lights hanging from the trees. i must say i thought they were pretty cool too. 
and that is that. life has been running in fast forward this past week and isn't looking to slow down anytime soon! i love the holidays but man do they wear me out!! it was nice to go some place like this and just slowly walk around sipping a cup of hot chocolate to relax and get some christmas spirit.have a great week and be sure to visit tracey to see more best shots. :)

I love that photo of the three of you!! :) Us Mommies never get into the photos!
Oh wow! I think that might be the first ever photo I've seen of you. I'm so glad you included it. :)
I think lights must be the theme of the day today.
Yeah, Blueberry made it into a pic! I love the single shots of the kids, though. Bean with her little hat and mittens and the look of wonder on Sprout's face! Sweet, sweet, SWEET!
Good for you for getting in a photo! Those lights look amazing.
That looks like so much fun. I wonder if our zoo does something like that. I will have to look into ti. Althought it is frighteningly cold right now....Great shot of the three of you's too!
Love the photo of sprout, I like his expression. YOu can tell he was having a good time.
Man you guys look cold! I used to love things like the model train exhibitions too. Oh and miniature villages! Very cool. Try and take it easy in this frantically mad run-up to Christmas. Enjoy those babies! Mine's gone away. *sniff sniff*
You know what this made me remember? All your Christmas fun last year, and you ending most posts with the thought "next year we'll be doing this with TWO kids!" :o)
So fun! I love light displays, and it looks like your kiddos already have the appropriate appreciation for such an amazing holiday tradition! And what a big boy Sprout is getting to be - holy cow!
