Festival of Lights

This afternoon was the start of my most favorite Lake Jackson tradition: The Festival of Lights! Every year they put up all these Christmas trees made of lights all over downtown and have a festival during the day and then a parade at night. It's so much fun! We went to the festival part today and in just a little while we will head to the parade. Kendall was pretty excited about the festival...until we got there! Then she got a little overwhelmed and everything was just too loud and too scary. We ran into some friends and asked them to take a family picture - here's how that went:
Oh well. So then we headed over to the carnival part of the festival and bought tickets so Kendall could ride the carousel like she had been talking about wanting to do. They ride one in Mary Poppins, so she thought that would be fun. Well, she changed her mind (after Randy bought the tickets) so we moved on to the games. She thought it sounded like fun to pick a duck and get a prize, but then, not so much. Can you tell?
After that it was time to go watch Aubrey Beams dance on the main stage! Kendall was really excited about that and she could just sit in the stroller, so that worked out great!! Here we are ready to see Aubrey:
She did such a good job! She's so sweet and cute! (on the right - our friends Jason and Stephanie adopted her from Russia - but she just looks like she's their biological child!!)

Before we left, we walked over to the snow hill so Kendall could just see it. It looked like fun! I wore Cooper the whole time - and she slept the whole time! We'll see how they both do for the parade tonight; it's going to be loud!!
