For years now, the kids and I have had a tradition of going out around Nashville after sundown to look at all the fabulous displays of Christmas lights. We bake some sugar cookies, grab some hot chocolate, put a Christmas CD into the CD player and drive around to all the neighborhoods and houses known to set-up an incredible Christmas array. It is something we look forward to each year.
Their Aunt Bridget actually helped create this tradition with us as she was instrumental in the baking of the sugar cookies, the DJ for the holiday tunes and the seeking out of the limos (long story). We didn't get to go out with her this year, but we're hoping she (and her sweet baby, Addy) will be able to join us next year! We can't wait to see Addy "light up" at the lights. She will be two by then and will definitely enjoy the experience.
Anna brought her camera with us this year. She got some really great photos--especially considering that it was at night and she was taking them from inside a moving car.(Thank you, Anna!) She was careful to take a picture of this one house we visit every time--it has a special story behind it. Bridget, I bet you recognize it immediately!

You recognize this, Bridget? |

Some people get out and go visit with a Santa--played by
a couple of the neighbors who take shifts. |
