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

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.

Day 22 - Go to Holiday in the Park
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.

Day 23 - Joyner Family Christmas
Mom asked if I would make a Happy Birthday Jesus cake and we all sang together.

An attempt at a great-grandkid pic

Bribing these two with lollipops...and they are the CUTEST

Day 24 - Read the Night before Christmas & Eat at Waffle House
We woke up and had our own little family time of opening Christmas presents.

Christmas Eve Service at mom & dad's church

We went to see the newly installed communion rails in the renovated chapel that Mom, Jan & Ben donated in honor of Momma Gay & Pepa.

Favorite Tradition - Christmas Eve WAFFLE HOUSE!!!

I can't.

Opened presents on Christmas Eve at Honey & Boss' before going to sleep.

Sprinkling Reindeer food so Santa could find us.
