A million lights and Santa's reindeer!

WARNING... WAY TOO MANY PICTURES!!

On Friday, December 5th we went over to Thanksgiving Point for a really fun family night! We had the best time... which is why there are way too many pictures in this post. It was seriously the best night. We started by driving through the light display... over a MILLION lights. It was really pretty and the kids loved it.
Chris at the wheel...
Afton viewed the lights from my lap in the front seat...
While Max stuck his head out of the sunroof...
And Abby leaned out the side.
See how much fun they are having? What cute kids!
At the end they had a really beautiful display depicting the birth of the savior that ended with this nativity.
Next we were off to visit Santa's reindeer.
Then we had dinner at our very favorite... 
the Thanksgiving Point Deli.
Chris and his girls...
Katie and her boys...
So, Afton was eating Dinosaur shaped chicken nuggets and kept roaring at us. It took us a while to figure out what she was doing. It was the funniest thing... and she kept telling us to "laugh, guys" every time she did it. We were practically rolling on the floor we were laughing so hard at her cute face. I especially love how her headband makes her ears stick out. Pretty soon she was making us all roar...
Max (looking a little like a WHO)...
Abby (she's got the growl down)...
Chris...
and me (I can't believe I'm actually posting this  picture... 
but in the spirit of fairness... here it is)...
Oh, even Coleman joined in the fun.
After dinner and ice cream, Chris took the big kids to a movie and I took the babies home to go to bed. It seriously was one of the most fun nights we've had together... I think we will definitely have to make this an annual thing. Anyone want to join us next year?
