Fun with the Family

Last night I went to Zumba-only 2 other ladies were there but we had a blast! I have to admit though that it was quite fun having a smaller class. Let's just say it made for perfection and a really good workout. I got home and my sweet husband suggested we go look at Christmas lights (we do this every year and has become a family favorite during the holidays)We ventured up to Tacoma to find a house that we had seen on the news a few days previous. We hadn't brought the address with us or anything but with my husbands superb navigation skills and my awesome memory:) we found it without getting lost or making any wrong turns. It was crazy how we drove straight to it. It was sooo awesome though. By the time we got there Cody and Elijah were sawing logs in the back seat but Dallas, Brandon, Mike and myself were able to see it. I wish we could have been able to get out and actually walk through their back yard- it was all decked out with lights and blow ups and decorations-a lot of work. Afterwards we just started driving back home and took some crazy roads that we had never been on. We ended up going by a marina and a metal scrapyard. They were really cool and we told Dallas that this is where the real men go to work;) Sometimes it's fun to get lost for a while and not have to worry about getting anywhere on time-especially in the dark. I had a blast. Aftewards it was all ice cream cones at McDonalds. I love the holidays:)

We always went for the Christmas light fun, but we never threw in the ice cream cones!! Glad you are doing this with your family. Fun, fun memories for everyone! Now the real adventure is going out and getting your own real tree in the forest!! Any fond memories of that? :) Don't forget to take your Dad along for a real swell time!! LOL
