Christmas Lights Across Canada...

For the past four years, Kendal and I have been trying to make it to the Legislative Building 

to watch them turn on the Christmas lights..

Tonight we bundled everybody up..

grabbed our SIL Esther...

and finally did it...

I didn't realize what a big event it was,

There was Santa and his reindeer...

prizes, hot chocolate, crafts and face painting...

and all without me and my camera...

(How's that for a first!)

My hubby did- however

take one of this very cool gingerbread house of the Leg

made by Safeway...with his cell phone.

When we got home, I did take some pictures of our facepaint..

unfortunately the kids was pretty messed up,

Mine was still pretty good...
