To help us get into the Christmas season, we hopped over to McAdenville, NC for some Christmas lights.
McAdenville is also known as Christmastown, USA...est. 1881 (according to the sign. :) It is a neat place. The whole city is lit up. There is bumper to bumper traffic in order to see all the lights. We went on a week night because the website said weekends are super busy. It still took us about an 1 hour and half to drive through...but we also stopped for some hot cocoa.
Hot Cocoa and cookies, of course. It was a cute little shop. They even had some gingerbread houses on display.
Kira wouldn't look at the camera...
I made the kids Christmas hats. I thought they turned out cute. The snowflake was fun to make too!
Rocking chairs. It was just an idyllic Christmas moment.
The lake had a colorful fountain and lighted trees all around.
The whole drive is only 1.3 miles. We enjoyed the slow drive while we listened to Amy Grant's Christmas CD.
There were many people who walked the mile...maybe next year we will do that.
This helped us get excited for Christmas. Oh, and the kids said (occasionally yelled), "tree" and "lights" during the drive. Trees and lights are about the only thing the twins understood about Christmas this year. :)
