Christmas Lights at Longwood Gardens

Sean and I took Ayden to Longwood Gardens again to see all of the Christmas lights. It was very cold and my fingers were frozen but we had a blast!

They had all of the displays in the green house lit with Christmas lights and trees decorated in more themes then you can imagine. They had an outdoor ice skating rink, children's garden and thank goodness for the hot chocolate...

Ayden especially loved the electric train set that ran through the tropical greenhouse and seeing a man that looked just like Santa Claus made his evening! Actually he has seen Santa Claus at the Gardens, Chipotle, and at church so far... Santa's a busy man! Each time he gets so focused on him and at church he went up to the guy and kept telling him that his name is Ayden. Too cute!

Here are some pictures of our trip...

Longwood Gardens looks like a great place to go and see Christmas lights. I wonder if we'll have time to go before we move. Hmmmm....

You're right, that castle thing did make for a great picture. :)
