Thanksgiving Point Christmas Lights and Reindeer

I guess the title says it all! We went out with one of my best friends, Nicole, and her family to see what Thanksgiving Point had to offer this holiday season. They did not disappoint. First off, they had one of the best Santas ever. The only problem was, however, that Capri and Mikayla hate Santa and Roman isn't much of a fan either. As you can see, both girls are hiding in their mom's chests. The funny thing is that Capri loves to talk about Santa. We have a little Santa that "dances" and Capri always asks where the "big Santa" is. She loves to hear that he is up at the North Pole making toys...far away from here.
Next up, the reindeer. Both Capri and Roman were brave enough to hold on to their antlers. I don't know if that was the smart way to go, but we left unharmed and happier to have met some of Santa's helpers.The whole crew: Tucker, Roman, me, Capri, Nicole, Mikayla and Weston!

We then packed in our van, seats down, and let the kids watch for all of the awesome light displays. Besides the half an hour we had to wait to actually get in to see the lights, the kids did great and were totally entertained by the sights. It was great for us adults to have time to chat and catch up...and make fun of some of the displays such as the soldier that looked like he was downing the "good drink." Thank you Maughans for inviting us for a great Christmas outing!

I love it...that was so much fun to hang out with you guys! I'm glad we were able to find a date out with our kiddo's. Hilarious about the kids being so scared of Santa! Oh and who could forget the soldier (both of them, but we won't go there).
