This weekend we traveled to Tyler, TX to go to "SantaLand" a spectacular drive-thru Christmas light display. It has over 2 million lights (imagine the electric bill for that place!) and you drive through several different "themes". Another really cool thing was that when you arrived they informed you to tune your radio to a special station so that you experience the music with the lights. The timing was awesome and they played Trans Siberian Orchestra-esque (actually it probably WAS the Trans Siberian Orchestra) music on the station. The lights would twinkle and turn on and off at just the right moment from the song. I was actually pretty impressed. Brennan, however was more than impressed. He alternated sitting in mine and Derek's laps and spent the entire 30-ish minute car ride saying "ooooo...." "OOOO..." "ooooOOOooooOOooo..." It was quite possibly the most adorable thing ever. It just made me so happy that he was so happy. Isn't it awesome how sweet and innocent children are? How they can totally "light up" (no pun intended) by something so simple? It really made my heart warm to see how excited he was. It's nice to take a break from being a grown up and having all of these grown up things to do and think about and just..."oooo" and "aaahhh" over the Christmas Lights.
