Willard Bay Lights

Proving that you can never see too many Christmas lights, we went with some friends to see the lights at Willard Bay.  Shane and I went with his family when we were first married, but we've never taken any of our kids to see them.

We started out the night by filling them up with sugar...

 Whoever thought of this idea (the trees) instead of a whole gingerbread house, I love 'em.  Genius.

We played our friends' new WiiU for a while, then headed out to the lights!

So cold!

This is at the beginning.

I was trying to get a picture of the horses, but here ya go.

They had a HUGE nativity scene.

Ari LOVED it and Shane struggled to see.

The kids LOVED the wagon ride and wanted to go again.  If there wasn't a line (and/or if it wasn't as cold as it was), we would have gone again.  There wasn't a line for Santa, so we went to see him.  (This was the kids' third time this Christmas.  Kaden was like, "I already told him what I want!"  haha)

And in a true Christmas miracle, ARI decided she wanted to sit on Santa's lap!!  The other two times she just screamed and screamed and wouldn't go anywhere near him if her life depended on it.  I was SHOCKED when she took the initiative and said, "I wanna sit on Santa's lap!" as she marched up to him.  I, of course, had to turn around and announce to everyone in line what a miracle this was.  The other mom's were super happy for me.  Shane was rolling his eyes at me.  hahaha

Happy Ari!!

She wouldn't talk to him, but she didn't cry, either.  Success!!

It cost $8 (per vehicle) to get into Willard Bay, but once you were in, the wagon ride was free as many times as you wanted (Santa was free, too, with no one making you buy overpriced pictures of your kids crying).  The light display was the best one we saw all winter.  This is definitely one we'll be doing every year
