It was a beautiful Christmas Eve in Colorado Springs. There was still snow from our blizzard and it started snowing again at dusk. We all went for a walk to see Christmas lights. Abbi knew a neighborhood that puts out luminaries every year so we were all very excited to see it all lit up. Joey was especially excited because there was a nativity scene at a house that would not showcase the baby Jesus until Christmas Eve. The neighborhood is about 4 or 5 blocks away. We had Joey and Eli all bundled up: Eli with mommy in the Mai Tai (soft carrier) and Joey looking like a "Christmas Taco" (wrapped in a blanket) in the buggy. I guess Joey was a little too warm and cozy and the long busy day a little too long and busy because just before we got to the house with the nativity, he fell asleep. We wouldn't let him take a nap so he would go to bed early and we could set up his new present from his Papaw and it all caught up with him at the exact wrong time. Oh well. Sorry Joey. The walk was still very pretty with the snow falling and the lights glowing. Next year maybe Joey can stay awake and see the lights.
MERRY CHRISTMAS
