You can kiss your family good-bye and put miles between you, but at the same time you carry them with you in your heart, your mind, your stomach, because you do not just live in a world, but a world lives in you.

Magical Nights of Lights at Lake Lanier

It seems like this time of year is all about family traditions and we do not lack in any of those for the holiday season. Every year we travel to Lake Lanier for an evening of Christmas lights and fair rides. This year we got to go before Christmas. It’s usually something we do between Christmas and New Year’s Eve because the crowds tend to be smaller. But with travels to Florida this year for New Year’s Eve, we had to find a way to do it before then. We picked a Sunday night to go up there thinking it would be slower than most other nights and we were lucky that it was. The girls enjoyed the lights, but have moved past the “splendor of the lights” and just want to get to the rides. For the first time, Kelsey was big enough to ride the big rides and she had a blast doing it. Ally...our child of no fear until after she rides something...enjoyed every minute of the big rides this year as well. Drew ventured on the carousel with mommy, but didn’t enjoy the ride until the very end. We always end our night with a ride on the ponies and then it’s back to the car to get changed into jammies for the ride home.

All of the Christmas pictures are posted together on the Shutterfly site. Check there often for updates on the fun holiday happenings.
