Last night, we finally made it out to Santa’s Wonderland. We, and by we, I mean I, had originally wanted to take Haylen there before Christmas, but that didn’t exactly work out as planned. Time just got away from us. We decided that when we made it back home after the holidays, we would make sure to take her then. Our little one has been enamored by Christmas lights since our trip to Dallas in November, and she also has a love of horses. So, CJ and I decided to give our girl a special treat and take a horse and carriage ride through Santa’s Wonderland to see all of the lights. Now, I have to say, the carriage ride is the way to go. Not only did our child love it, we loved the fact that we didn’t have to wait in an insanely long line for the hayride. It was totally worth every penny!!! It’s gonna be carriage rides from here on out for this family!
As we were walking through the parking lot, we ran into the Scotts, some really great friends we have not seen in quite some time. Honestly, what are the odds!?! They were just passing through College Station and stopped off at Santa’s Wonderland. I think we scared my husband and quite possibly everyone within a 5 mile radius…when I looked over at the couple walking next to us and realized that it really was them, I yelled Patricia’s name, she screamed, CJ about jumped out of his skin, and the rest is history. It was so great to see them again! It really is funny how things work out.

Our girl was all smiles!
It really was a perfect night (if you don’t count the cold front that blew in as we were finishing our carriage ride and dropped the temperatures from totally doable to crazy cold!).
