Christmas Lane

We went to Christmas Lane last night and Matt worked late so he did not go. I really don't think he likes going anyway, so it just happened to work out that they offered him some overtime. Rachel had a good time and liked looking at the different decorations and lights. She was excited to see and hug Santa and stood in the line pretty well for her. She wanted to ride the train and they stuck her in the back, which was a bad move since that left her free to stand up every so often and try to escape. However, as opposed to last year, she didn't cry. Since she is a dancing queen, we found some fake snow and music to let her dance in. When I wanted her to back up, she threw a fit and I decided it was time to leave. We still had fun and I didn't have to stay too horribly long. Rachel's swingset is currently being put together as I type this. Matt wants to put a tarp over it and make her wait until Christmas. I cannot wait to see her excitement!



Practicing saying "cheese" for our picture with Santa. She looks ready to take off.





Rachel is smiling a little too much, but it was better than the usual.
