Christmas Lights with mom and dad

This is the arch-way through which everyone drives to go through the Christmas Park.




Everything was super elaborate!

The see-saw was actually moving! :-)


Below is mom and dad in downtown Kansas City with the Plaza lights ablaze!


Mom and dad came for Thanksgiving, which was a total blessing and a lot of fun. One evening, we decided to go see this very special "Christmas in the Park" light display that everyone here raves about. It's not far from where I live, but once you arrive, get ready to WAIT IN LINE! Wow, we waited in a line of cars for 1 1/2 hours before even getting to the park entrance! However, as you can see from the above pictures, it was worth the wait. I should have taken video because most of these displays were actually "moving lights".

Kansas City does a beautiful job down-town too of decorating the Plaza buildings with Christmas lights. Mom and dad and I enjoyed a fantastic dinner out at Houston's restaurant and a stroll and drive around downtown and the surrounding "wealthy" neighborhoods to see the Christmas lights.

Then, of course, dad helped me...rather did it all himself....put up some outside lights on my house! (Pictures of those to come)

Now, if I could just find some time to do some shopping for Christmas. Yikes!
