The girls were really excited by the Christmas lights and decorations this year. So, I asked around for some good light displays and a neighborhood mom told me about a botanical garden in Maryland. We bundled up tight and took the girls to see the lights -- It was COLD that night (19 degrees, I think!), but worth it. There were the most beautiful light displays! Not very Christmas-y really -- the theme was "The Four Seasons" -- but beautiful none-the-less. The girls LOVED it! They had so much fun running around the garden paths and marveling at all the beautiful lights.
This photo doesn't do the garden justice, but it does give you a sense of the amount of lights they had... it was amazing. Everything was lit up! They even had a rainbow with thunder clouds and lightening, complete with sound effects. Most of the lights were at the girls' height, making them all the more magical. It was as if they were walking through a twinkling garden.

Checking out the blue butterfly... Ella said it was "blue-tiful!"
Mom and girls checking out the unbelievable train display! We had fun trying to find all the hidden objects (a grizzly bear even!) in the display.

That looks so much like our River of lights here! I love it! :)
