We are in the Holiday Spirit!
We are definitely in the Christmas spirit here at the Cookson house! We have been having a lot of fun getting ready for Christmas and going to different events in the area.
Kylee was very excited about putting up the tree this year so we decided to get it up right after Thanksgiving. We got back from Thanksgiving on Saturday and got the tree decorated on Sunday. Kylee was very into it this year and helped put A LOT of ornaments on!


Last week, we went to Zoo Lights and the kids loved it! It was really a great display and there were lights everywhere! Most of the trees had lights on them but there were also a lot of tunnels and stuff that we could walk under. The kids really liked the different animal lights that were there and they were both even content riding in the stroller the whole time! There was a train set up in the Visitors' Center too which was a big hit for both kids.

Our next holiday stop was Season's Greenings. (Well actually we did the Bull Run Festival of Lights too but I don't have any pictures of it.) Season's Greenings was an event at the Botanic Gardens in DC. They had a huge train display to walk through. All of the buildings and structures were made completely of different plant materials so they were pretty neat to look at -- especially the ones of the historical buildings. The kids were, of course, most amused by the trains that were running. There were so many different tracks and types of trains going that you could see one almost everywhere that you looked. It was definitely a good trip (thanks for the tip Julie!) and one that we will likely repeat every year!

We still have a lot of holiday activities planned so it should be a fun few weeks including ornament and cookie making with our friends! Stay tuned. : )
