Ben was not feeling very well this weekend so I had to spread some holiday cheer solo for part of Saturday. I volunteered as a "guide" for families coming to get presents for their kids at the toy shop put on by the local YWCA. It was a blessing for me to interact with lots of different parents. I even got to brush up a little on my espanol.. I was actually really sad how much I've lost. I also got asked 3 different times if I was in high school.. I guess some things never change!
After resting all day, Ben was ready to go Sat. night. We went down to Green lake for the pathway of lights. This is probably our newest favorite Seattle holiday activity. We got down there a little early, so we went to Chocolati for some hot cocoa which was conveniently close to where we parked.
It was so fun to walk around the lake with lots of other families while taking in the lights. There were some sporadic carolers and a few pit stops for hot cider.
We finished off the night by driving through "Candy Cane Lane" which is one of the more well known places to check out holiday lights. It's hard not to be disappointed after growing up in Gilbert where people put their lights to music and having 30 blow ups in one yard is not uncommon. However, for Seattle, it was pretty good.
Sunday we went to church, did our normal cleaning, etc. and went to children's ministry. At one point, I looked over at Ben and he was reading a story with about 10 kids surrounding him. My heart skipped a beat at the thought of him being a daddy some day. Maybe not with 10 kids, but still. :)
Merry Christmas!

Sounds like a perfect Saturday.
How fun. Glad Ben recovered.
I still cannot imagine putting up all those lights. 3 Miles.....
I miss the lights.
Well...you get to see the thousands of blowups in 1 WEEK. YEAH.
Maybe you should bring your suit it was 70 today. You will love the sun.
See you soon
