This year was the first time we took Emily to see the Christmas lights at Callaway. We drove down after school and actually spent the night. We enjoyed our stay so much over the summer that we thought it would be fun to spend the night and visit the gardens the next day. Emily had a blast viewing the lights. Predictably, the purple ones were her favorite, although she really liked the swan swimming across the lake and the frog that jumps over the road. We woke up and went down to breakfast the next morning and were greated by Rudolph and the Gingerbread Man. Emily's never seen characters in costume like that and we thought she might be scared. No such luck! She was all over both of them and insisted on going up to give them goodbye hugs before we could leave. After breakfast, we visited the butterfly center, which is a favorite of hers. We had fun, but it was WAY too cold and windy to go anywhere else. We made a stop by the country store for some goodies (fudge, of course) and then headed home. I hope we can make this fun weekend a holiday tradition!

Pretty sure it's dangerous for her head to fit through the bars like that
She loves to feed the fish
