A good friend who happens to be Donovan's former pre-K teacher, blessed the boys with a Gingerbread House. So, we assembled and decorated it. Turned out pretty cute. It was lots of fun and my first time to build one.
We also visited Santa's Wonderland to see some extreme Christmas lights. If you have not been there before, it is just outside of College Station and they have over 40,000 lights. You can drive through (on selected days), take a hayride or even a horse drawn carriage. They lights were fantastic. And, if I may make a recommendation, DO have the fresh made kettle corn. It's CRAZY deeeeeeelicious!
They had curtains of lights - see below. They had different "scenes" of lights, for example, in Texas you must have the obligatory longhorns, which I loved. But my favorite light display was actually about Easter, not Christmas. You see, the owners of Santa's Wonderland have created their version of the resurrection of our Lord and Savior with Christmas lights. It's the last display on the tour and it was magnificent. The TRUE reason for the season. It gave me chills. The photos cannot capture how powerful it was, but check them out below and maybe you'll want to go and see for yourself.
