Winter Wonderland

Tonight for FHE we took our annual trek over to "The Woodlands Winter Wonderland" light display. It is a small display area they have set up near the ice rink where you can walk around and see several light displays.

They have a huge tree...

And the traditional dove symbols that The Woodlands uses throughout its holiday displays (street light flags, etc.)

Here is McKay running ahead under the light arches...

As I mentioned, this light display surrounds the ice rink that they set up every winter (it's in a big tent). Hannah really wanted to go in and watch the ice skaters, so we did for a minute. Hannah got very teary watching because she really, really wanted to try it herself. (McKay was also begging to go ice skating, but at least he wasn't crying about it.)

We told her we couldn't go tonight because it was too late but maybe we'd try to come back when we had more time. She kept telling me how it looked so fun (and I told her it's not as easy as it looks!) and then she got worried about falling down, etc. We'll see if we end up going back. Can you just see Brian and I trying to herd our 4 kids around on the ice? Makes for an interesting mental picture at this point. :-)

Here's a last picture at the light display (you can tell Hannah was still upset about the ice skating).

And also tonight, I got copies of the pictures the designated photographer took of the kids with Santa at the ward Christmas party. They turned out cute!
