Natchitoches Lights.

This year we spent Christmas with my family in Louisiana. We had such a wonderful time! We spent Friday-Wednesday there and packed in a lot of fun! Kyle & I even got to have a movie date! That's super rare! We went to see The Hobbit and really enjoyed it. The kids were spoiled with tons of gifts and lots of attention from their many admirers!

On Sunday, after a lovely service at my home town church, we continued our Christmas tradition of going to Natchitoches to walk front street and see the lights. (Natchitoches is were Steel Magnolias was filmed) While there we had fun looking in one of our favorite toy stores, munching on funnel cakes, cotton candy, and hot dogs, and admiring all of the lights. We finished the night with a yummy meal and then headed home.

After church. I wanted to get a family picture. This is what I got. Real life people!

Finley found this little "stage" and proceeded to sing and perform her ENTIRE dance from her recital. Then she found a little podium and told the story of Jesus' birth...from the angel appearing to Mary to the wise men bringing baby Jesus gifts!
