The Christmas Lights

Tonight, we decide to brave the cold and take a stroll around the neighborhood to look at Christmas lights. So, we bundled up like Eskimos and headed out. We tucked Troy into the stroller and wrapped a nice, thick blanket over his legs to keep him warm. I told him it was like taking a carriage ride around New York in the winter, which seemed to intrigue him. That and maybe just getting out of the house had him calm and quiet.

We wound our way up and down each street with Troy impressing us with his knowledge of deer, horses (yes, it's Texas after all), snowmen, and Christmas trees. He munched on his snacks, and we watched his little face light up brighter than the Christmas lights that glowed blue, red, green, and white. I think he loves Christmas as much as we do.

Thoroughly frozen, we headed home to make some homemade corn dogs. Although, they were more like corn cubes, as my wife decided to replace the traditional sausages with blocks of cheese instead. All in all, a nice, peaceful night.
