This year we did something totally different...we went to Lights on the Hill as a family :) Usually Ben is in the café kitchen cooking or helping but with all that we had going on this year he decided it was a good year for a break. So that meant he could actually see what happens at this event that he's been involved in for years!
Once again the hill in Candia was lined with candles, lighting the way to the different buildings.
This year there was no snow, but it was a chilly enough for hats, gloves and winter coats.
First stop: ornament/Christmas decoration making.
Second stop...
...dinner at the café. Hot dogs, corn chowder and chili (that I somehow dumped all over the table...but NOT on my camera, phew!).
Next stop...decorating and eating gingerbread cookies...
Next, to visit the animals. There were oxen, sheep, alpacas and goats.
And of course we had to check on the baby Jesus...
And maybe take him out for a little love...
On to the campfire, roasting marshmallows and...
...rolling on the ground?
A little pit stop to see all the creches from all over the world... of course snoopy nativity was the hit.
After sometime in the coffee house, getting our groove on the the acapella musical stylings of the Grace Notes and some Johnny Cash tunes, we headed back up the hill humming Christmas tunes and "Ring of Fire", of course!
