Christmas in the Park

Grace and I have had a busy few days, Christmas shopping and enjoying the season.  Last night we were in Peterborough, listening to the sounds of my nephew's band.  Grace did a great job of staying awake and enjoying the music, clapping excitedly after each piece.  It was so cute to watch her enjoying the music!  We stayed overnight and had a nice visit with family.
Tonight we were supposed to attend an Advent Mass where my nephew's class was to sing Christmas carols.  However, he was sick and not going to be there, so we chose not to go to the church service and instead got bundled up and went to Christmas in the Park.  It was a mild night, so right after dinner, I changed Grace into her pajamas then bundled her into her snowsuit and off we went.  Our town hosts a lovely display of lights and holiday vignettes in a small park with a stream running through it.  It's quite beautiful and although Grace is a little young to really take it all in, it was a lovely walk just the same.  I may take her back a second time when there is actually some snow! And the best part of it all was... we were still home and in bed by 7:40!  Grace of course, not me!

It's a little hard to tell, but that's a beautiful Nativity scene behind her

It's not clear but that's Thumper and Bambi in the background.  Still figuring out the new camera!!!LOL
