A Little Christmas Cheer...

Trey and I have Date Night every Monday which has been the best idea ever! Last night, we went to a really good dinner at Fantastic China in the heights. We love this place, but never think about going because it is not close to our house. But, they have some of the best Chinese food! We were walking out to our car after dinner and looked over and saw a Haagen Dazs store! We couldn't pass that up - plus it is calcium for the growing pea pod :) And they had peppermint ice cream - YUMO!

So, we ventured out to go look at Christmas Lights after ice cream - we heard Burns Park and Sherwood Forest had some great lights so we went to check them out. Oh my, we have been missing out for years! Sherwood Forest was AMAZING - and FREE! They accept donations at the end, but they had the best lights and figures - way cool. Very organized and well done - I am SICK I didn't bring my camera to share with you, but I found these two pics online - this is the entrance gate....



And this is an example of what it looks like - the roads are lined with red lights and there are wonderful figures and light displays all along the way - truly beautiful!


Then, we went to Burns Park which was pretty neat - not as great at Sherwood, and you have to pay $5.00, but still worth a drive through.

We had such a great night together - I miss our college days when we had tons of time together through the year - we would often drive to Hot Springs to have lunch and shop, or take a drive and discover a new area, or sleep the day away. There were semesters when both of us had three and four day weekends! And we spent all that time together - all four days! :) I will always treasure those times, and I feel so blessed that we have those memories to cherish forever.

Merry Christmas Everyone - have a safe and happy holiday!!!
