It's hard when you miss people. But you know if you miss them, that means you're lucky. It means you had someone special in your life, someone worth missing.

| Mom & Dad Christmas 2010 |
It was a great evening to be at the park! 67 Degrees, no wind... couldn't ask for better weather in December. They had a Christmas for the kids on route 66 (Main street) so we took the kids there and watched carolers, took a picture in a snow globe, ate sonic and met Santa. Joanie even gave Benji a crash course in saying the alphabet in Spanish.
Then we took the kids to the Christmas lights in the park. It's a massive display of lights. The kids danced and took pictures and 'oohed and awed over different displays. It takes about 30 minutes to briskly walk through it and then another 30 to walk back. Evelyn lost her play cell phone a few times where we had to double back to find it and we saw her often looking at it saying 'cheese'. We assumed she was taking selfies!
By the time we got to the car and started to leave, Benji said... I'm done, turn the lights off! lol And Evelyn just wanted a Beer! We made her repeat it 3 times.... eventually we realized she was asking for her "Bear" that was on the floorboard of the van.
What a fun evening to spend with kids. Everything is so new to them, it really makes you stop and appreciate things again.
