Buddy the Elf Advent Days 21 - 25 - Carriage Ride & Christmas Celebrations

Day 21 - Ride in a Carraige to look at Christmas Lights Untitled

A favorite Howe family tradition. Dinner at Mi Cocina and a carriage ride around Highland park to look at Christmas lights!

Our driver was SO patient.
This happened the ENTIRE ride...constant begging to sit by him, ask about his horse, and ask him 1,382 questions.

We could not resist driving a couple miles down the road when we finished the carriage ride to see the house of 1,000 Santas.
It is pretty incredible...and also creepy.
 Especially the old Big Tex head.

Well, sometimes plans DONT work out.
 It was a monsoon this day and we had plans to meet Bart & Olivia at Six Flags but it just was too cold and rainy.
So, they just came over to hang out and Anson had a sleepover, went to church with us and some friends the next day.
