Winter Wonderland Lights

Today from their advent calendar the boys got some craft books with ideas on what to make with boxes and paper plates. And then we went over to Nana & Grandpops for dinner. It's a new tradition we have been doing for the last 4-5 weeks. We plan what to make on Monday...my parents get the ingredients then we come over and cook it for them. It's really wonderful because it get's us to see my parents more often. Helps us with not having to worry about getting ingredients for a dinner a week and helps my parents by them not having to cook a dinner one night a week.

After dinner we took a drive to go see Winter Wonderland in Woodinville. My parent's live in Woodinville so it was a fairly short drive.  Winter Wonderland is a private home in a neighborhood that is unbelievable. When you drive in there are signs that ask you to tune into a specific radio station and the music played is what the lights flicker to! The boys favorite part was the large moving Thomas the Train! My favorite was probably the Santa that looked real in the window but was actually playing on a tv. Funny thing is when I first saw it I believed it was a real person but when my Dad (Grandpop) tried to point him out to Lee the problem was that Lee was looking for a real person and could tell that the one on a tv screen wasn't real so he was trying to look past it! On the way to the amazing house we had the boys point out whenever they saw other houses that were decorated of course they got really into this game! It was really cute hearing them squeal with excitement and direct us where to look! Lee saw a house that was a very classic design and very cutely cried out that it looked JUST like a gingerbread house!
