Every year except last year and this year, we have gone to breakfast with Santa at the club. But, for the past 2 years we have missed it because of baseball. This year, we went to see Enchanted Airlie with Pop and Nana. (We missed Nancy and Bro and the cousins but hope they can make it next year.) Airlie Gardens is a public garden they decorate every year for Christmas, and let me tell you, Santa is wonderful! The little boy before us asked Santa for a wii, and he kept telling him the bathroom was just outside the tent. We were all chuckling. When our kids got to Santa, I wasn't sure how it would go. Let's just say that Santa knew exactly what to say to my kids. He told them to stop fighting with each other and to stop whining. Let me just say that those 2 behaviors had been in full swing in our house, so he couldn't have encouraged our parenting any more! Ann Bennett was so surprised that she would hardly talk to him. It was a great memory.
They also have really cool model train scenes set up. They apparently have one of the largest outdoor tracks in the US or maybe the southeast, I don't remember. But, all of us enjoyed watching them. There is something very calming about watching the trains. I had a hard time getting a good picture of the tracks, but I thought the blurry one below was kind of cool.
Ann Bennett LOVES to have her picture taken beside any statue, and it seems that lights are perfect for pictures as well.
This is the only picture I have with Nana and Pop. Can you believe how bad it is? I need a new camera! But, I think it is kind of down the list.
Bryant took this picture.
Finally, I just think this is a cool picture. I hope you enjoy your Christmas lights in February.
