A light walk...
Several days ago, just before a cold front blew through, we decided to start a new Christmas tradition. We had dinner and got the kiddos all bathed and jammied and piled them into the stroller to take a "Light Walk" around the neighborhood. We moseyed around gawking at our neighbor's Christmas displays and even went down to the park to see it all lit up. We got home just in time to put the kiddos to bed right as the temperature started dropping. Jack thought it was the neatest thing ever and we all had so much fun!
Uncle Bryan is 30!
Happy birthday Bryan! Here are some pics from the festivities...
Chug-a-lug Caroline! (I know it's not in focus)

or, The Trains at Northpark. After school on Friday, Jason and I took Jack and Caroline to Dallas to see some serious train-age. Jack was in awe. He stared in silence for a couple of minutes just taking the whole place in. He loved it so much that we're actually going back tomorrow after we visit Santa!
