Festival of Lights!

Our friends Sinjin and Keira just happened to be there!  What luck!  (And even luckier because they had kettle corn!)

Gracie and I checked out the ice skating rink...

Danni enjoyed a candy cane...

Santa's reindeer were there... resting before their busy night!

We got yummy cupcakes!!

I loved the vanilla one!!

Danni removed all of the frosting from hers... and managed not to smear it all over her face!

I'm gonna have to talk to her about her taste in the guys she's kissing!

She picked the elf's nose too.

There were TONS of lights!!  Right up my alley!!

I gave Gracie a pre-Christmas smooch!

Danni was excited!!  (And not just by the kettle corn!  She loves lights too!)

She wanted NOTHING to do with Santa!

I LOVE Christmas lights!!  Sooo, this year, Mommy and Daddy took me to the Mission Inn in Riverside to see their famous 'Festival of Lights' ...  the grounds of the hotel are covered with zillions of pretty lights for everyone to admire.  In addition, there are all sorts of holiday activities to enjoy: an ice skating rink (the center of it was melting since that afternoon had reached 80 degrees!),  an area where you can view Santa's reindeer, and Santa himself had a workshop too!  (I missed my chance to see him because I had to go to the bathroom and by the time I got back the line was way too long....)  All of the holiday treats, music, and lights got us all in the mood for the holidays!!!
