Last night we had date night and went to dinner and the "Trail of Lights". The trail of lights is an Austin tradition that started in 1965 in a huge park in the middle of the city. All these trees are decked out with lights and cool scenes. The paved trail is a bit over a mile with over 1 million lights. It was freezing (36F) and we each had 2 jackets on but it was AMAZING.
One of my favorite trees; put up by the Fire Department.
How do the DO that?
Josh says we are definitely doing our frontyard trees in blue next year....
The stars and arches were synchronized to music and would blink on and off.
There is a huge smile under that scarf!
It snowed here on December 9th! It was late, like a 11pm and we ran outside and played like kids!!! The snowed stayed through the am next day. Crazy...
Hope everybody is ready for Christmas. I will finish my wrapping tonight. I'm so glad my presents finally made it to Napa today but I wish we were arriving instead!! We leave for Houston on Wednesday afternoon and return on Friday. Josh's family (my family too!) is so much fun! I look forward to new traditions but will be thinking of cranberry scones and bellinis!

TERRIFIC photos..those lights are incredible...what a wonderful tradition...blue is what I would do too...you and "Blue" look like little kids in the snow!! WOW!!!
Wonderful!!! Your photos are great.
wow snow how cool, cold, is that Looks like you really enjoyed the change. With Austin's low, southerly, latitude I thought you would be to far south for snow. Know you will have a grand Christmas but will really miss you BOTH Love John
